Many would argue that if it wasn't for that engine in the back of that Red Bull, Verstappen would already be a champion. But in Formula 1 you need the car to win the championships, and for arguably the most impressive driver on the grid in recent times it seems to be the car that will be the defining factor and not his ability alone.

A lot hinges on the car that Verstappen drives (or rather the engine at the back of it). Honda have been making all the right noises in recent times but until that engine is fitted at the back of the Red Bull and its performance is visible on the track, the less said the better.

For now, it does seem the affable Leclerc driving the scarlet Ferrari is in a more favorable position as compared to Verstappen.
