Zak Brown has claimed that Max Verstappen couldn’t win the World Championship in any car other than a Red Bull but suggested that there are six or seven drivers who could be a world champion with Red Bull.
Explaining his point of view on the Beyond the Grid podcast, Brown said: “Well, ultimately, you need both [a star driver and engineer]. I don’t think without a star driver, you’re going to win, so you need both.
“First, it does start with the car – people ask me all the time: ‘Is it car or driver?’ And it’s like: ‘Well, it’s both.’ I think the way I characterise it is, I think there are six, seven drivers on the grid that will be world champions in the Red Bull.
“As great as Max is, and he’s one of the best ever. I don’t think Max wins the world championship today in any other car, other than the Red Bull.”
