Ferrari F1 boss wants Verstappen to win the title but believes Hamilton will win; for this reason

At the halfway point of the 2021 F1 season, Lewis Hamilton (195) is currently leading the drivers’ standings with eight points ahead of Max Verstappen (187). The second best driver in the championship is Lando Norris with 113 points. With the two main title rivals in the championship so far away, it seems inevitable that either the Mercedes F1 driver or the Red Bull Racing driver would end the season victorious. With that in mind, Ferrari F1 boss Mattia Binotto insisted he hopes Verstappen win the championship but believes Hamilton will get the upper hand for an important reason.

One has already shown it and the other has a bet of undisputed speed from everything he has shown, I think Lewis wins . I say this because I think Mercedes will win. They are a solid team and have shown what they are over the past few years. I think they have all the elements to win in the end and like the reigning champions, they are the ones to beat. “
