Will Honda seize the world title in their final year? 'Verstappen can do that'

Red Bull disappoints

Since 2014, it has been Mercedes that is dominant in Formula 1 and there is not really a single team that has made it through all these years. Red Bull Racing hoped to make the step with Honda in 2020, but once again missed the mark. At the end, Red Bull was getting closer and closer, but that was too late to compete for the world title.

"Max is ready for the world championship, but if you don't have the material, you can do what you want, but that's not possible. Red Bull does say every year that they are coming and you can see that the marriage with Honda has grown," says Tom Coronel in conversation with Motorsport.com.

However, according to Coronel, Honda will be on top of things by 2021. ''Honda comes with a new engine and they also know that this is their last chance to grab a world title and with Max, they have someone who can grab the title, so they go all-in. Those little dots make sure that this can seriously be the best year for us Dutch, but also for Formula 1.'' According to Coronel, F1 hasn't been very exciting in recent years.

''The last few years have just been boring. Rosberg took the title once, but that was also because Hamilton dropped out in Malaysia. That's also why Rosberg stopped right away. However, everyone also knows that Max is growing and that he is now really ready to jump into the ring against Lewis," Coronel concludes hopefully.
