Red Bull favourite, according to Petrov
Petrov thinks Verstappen can also win the world championship this calendar year. "Red Bull has the resources. It is a big team with many specialists. After all, there is a lot of money. They know exactly what they want to do and how. And they employ professionals there," he analyses.
"But that doesn't mean other teams don't have a chance to win," Petrov adds. Among other things, the former Formula One driver hopes that Ferrari is getting back on track. According to Petrov, Ferrari is unsettled too soon and needs to accept that sometimes mistakes are made by the team.
