The former German driver and brother of Michael believes that Lewis Hamilton, second in the standings, is the main favorite to win the championship.
Max Verstappen, leader of the 2021 Formula 1 World Championship with two races to go, “Has no chance” of winning the championship, making Lewis Hamilton (2nd) the top seed to win at the end, former driver Ralf Schumacher said.
“Mercedes has a much better car right now. Max gives it his all and shows how good he is. But under normal circumstances, however, he has no chance, ”analyzed the younger brother of motorsport legend Michael Schumacher in the German edition of Sky Sports, according to statements recovered by the newspaper Mark.
Ralf Schumacher, who raced in F1 between 1997 and 2007, considered that the “luck” that the Dutch Verstappen (24 years) has had in the outcome of the season will end up leaving him without a title, with which the British Hamilton (36 years old) would raise his eighth championship.
“Maybe he has all the luck he has lacked so far. Without those episodes of bad luck, possibly Verstappen would already be champion by now ”, considered the 46-year-old ex-driver, referring to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix (June) and the Hungarian Grand Prix (August). where the Belgian-born leader suffered mishaps with his car that had an impact on qualifying.
In the absence of the races in Saudi Arabia (unprecedented) and Abu Dhabi, Verstappen is the leader of the World Cup with 351.5 points, eight points over the seven-time champion Hamilton (343.5).
The 2021 F1 season will conclude on December 12 at the Yas Marina circuit. (D)
