[Saba Sports News] Former F1 President Bernie Ecclestone recently discussed the upcoming new season in an interview, predicting that Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen will still be the favorite to win the driver’s championship. Ecclestone stated, “I’m pleased to see that the championship battle is so open, which is great. But if Red Bull can regain their speed, I still believe Verstappen will win.” Verstappen’s past performance is indeed remarkable; he has won the F1 driver’s championship four consecutive times, proving his strength and experience. His speed, technique, and race intelligence are top-notch, allowing him to stay calm and make the right decisions in critical moments. This is a crucial factor in his outstanding performance on the track. I believe that Ecclestone, as a former F1 President, has a deep understanding and unique insights into the F1 circuit. His continued support for Verstappen as a title contender for the 2025 season is based on Verstappen’s past achievements, the strength of Red Bull Racing, the competitive landscape, and Verstappen’s personal abilities. Although the competition this season will be exceptionally fierce, Verstappen is undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders for the championship.
