Former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan believes Max Verstappen would have a clear edge over Lewis Hamilton even if both drivers were in the same team due to a difference in age.
There are 13 years between Verstappen and Hamilton, with the pair widely regarded as the two best F1 drivers on the grid.
With Verstappen enjoying a period of domination of his own with Red Bull, many have questioned what would happen if the Dutchman went up against Hamilton in equal machinery.This has been a hot topic, particularly given Hamilton is out of contract at the end ofFormula For SuccessCoulthard posed the question: “What do you think right now that Lewis is too old to go head-to-head with Max?”
Jordan replied: “Yes. I think he will still win grands prix but he will need certain things to fall in place with him. Max is at the sweet spot for age, experience, belief, knowledge, the people he’s been around with the team and I think in the same car, right at this moment as we speak with the same ages it has to be Max.”
