Former F1 champion Damon Hill recently gave his opinion on Max Verstappen's claim that he could have won the world title earlier with Ferrari and Charles Leclerc's rebuttal to that comment. This came after the Red Bull driver clinched his fourth consecutive world championship at the 2024 F1 Las Vegas GP.
Verstappen managed to stay ahead of his title rival Lando Norris at the finish line, thus winning the championship. The Dutchman qualified P5 and secured the same position at the finish. After winning his fourth title, Verstappen said he could have won the 2024 F1 championship much earlier had he been in a Ferrari. Asked if he could have won the championship in a McLaren, Verstappen said (via Motorsport.com),
"Yes, even earlier, so [I would have been] further ahead. [With the Ferrari], pretty much the same I think."
