Alonso warns Verstappen: 'I then also thought I would win a few more'
Red Bull Racing is currently dominant in Formula 1. The Austrian constructor won 18 out of 22 races last year and this year the tally stands at seven wins from seven races. Fernando Alonso was also once dominant in F1, but warns that such things can change quickly in the sport.
'Max can break records'
Until 2026, the regulations in Formula 1 will remain pretty much the same, Alonso also knows. “Until the regulations change in 2026, Red Bull will contend for the championships so there will be many chances for Max to win races. He is young, the calendar is longer than ever before, with 24 opportunities to win every year, so he can break the records along the way," the Spaniard told PA News.
Alonso warns Verstappen
Still, Alonso says that Verstappen cannot sit back too much. “But there are also no guarantees. When I won two championships [in 2005 and 2006], I thought I would win a few more and have a lot of wins, so Max cannot relax because things can change quickly.”
