The Dutchman holds a mammoth 125-point lead over Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez and appears unstopp🐼able on his charge to becomingꦍ a three-time world champion. 

“Right now [Verstappen] is doing a very good job, but he looks just as invincible as when Hamilton was winning everything, that’s the reality,” seven-times F1 grand prix winner Montoya said in an interview wit🌳h Semana. 

“Max is a very good driver, but so far in the bꦫest car. Max’s speed right now is no better than Max’s🌳 speed two years ago, it’s probably the same. The car is much bigger.

“If you take Max out of that car, there are about seven or eight drivers who could be world champions in that car. If he were not there, but Checo, Hamilton, Sainz, Lecle🍸rc, they would be world cha🐼mpion.”

Montoya also called out 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, who won six of his seven world championship duri𝔍ng a period of Mercedes dominance between 2014-2020, over his recent complaints about Red Bull’s supremacy𒁏. 

"It's very cool to complain when you don't win, but when Lewis won ꦕhe said that the car didn't give him any advantage. Actually, Mercedes' advantage was as big as what Red Bull currently has," he added. 

"I don't want to say that Hamilton isn't good - on the contrary, he is ﷺa great driver. But the reality of this sport is that you have to be in the best car."
