Verstappen says he can understand why Alonso has decided to gamble and join Aston Martin despite its struggles during the 2022 F1 season.
As a former teammate of the Australian, Verstappen reckoned Ricciardo's ongoing struggles at McLaren had meant it fully made sense for both parties to look at other options.
"But I think that we all know that if you don't feel comfortable in the car and cannot push it to the way you want it to be, or want it to work, then you're never going to be on the same level as the guy who maybe feels more comfortable."I don't know exactly what it was between the two drivers, but if it doesn't work out sometimes you need to go somewhere else."
