With this Perez interview out, it's definitely not crazy to say that if Verstappen joined Ferrari or Mercedes, Russell and Leclerc would beat him.
Once he steps outside the team that is built around him, watch him get exposed. He has been way too comfortable for a while now.
So Sainz who lost to Albon… gets voted ahead of Leclerc who managed 7 podiums and a pole in that god forsaken Alpine level car
The PR is on another level
Dec. 8 2024 - Lando Norris secures McLaren's 1st constructors' title since 1998 with his 4th career win
Dec. 7 2025 - Lando Norris secures his 1st drivers' title with his 44th career podium
Been a hell of a year for #4.
Whatever you think of him, he'll likely go down as the only driver in F1 history to beat Verstappen to the title in inferior machinery, which I think warrants some flowers
