Talking about the rivalry for the new season, Verstappen had an interview with Sky Sport. When asked if Lewis will be his only strong rival this season, the F1 defending champion has conveyed, “I don‘t think so, Ferrari also looks strong this year, at least now in the tests. It is difficult to judge the others. Some teams still get some upgrades before the first race.”

Besides Mercedes, which team impressed Max Verstappen?

Ferrari launched their brand new F1-75 challenger for 2022. And it has taken everyone by surprise. The Maranello-based team was pretty impressive during their testing in Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain.
