Everyone wants Verstappen to win title says Ecclestone
DECEMBER 3, 2021
Bernie Ecclestone says he and "everyone I speak to" hopes that Max Verstappen is crowned world champion for the first time either this or next Sunday.
The former F1 supremo insists that is nothing against seven time world champion Lewis Hamilton - he thinks it's simply time Formula 1 had a new winner.
When asked if an eighth title would put Hamilton above the status of F1 legend Michael Schumacher, 91-year-old Ecclestone insisted to RTL: "No, not at all.
"In fact, I'm surprised Lewis didn't say at the beginning of the year 'I'm retiring - I don't want to win more races or world championships than Michael'," he added.
