Carlos Sainz boldly predicts when Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 dominance will end

Max Verstappen and Red Bull won’t have an advantage over the rest of the Formula 1 grid for too many more races, Carlos Sainz has boldly predicted.

However, the Ferrari star has warned that by the time they catch up, the championship battle may already done and dusted.

After retiring in Australia, Verstappen was back to winning ways in Japan on Sunday, cruising to victory from pole with teammate Sergio Perez second and Sainz third.

After four races, his lead in the championship stands at 13 points while Red Bull top the constructors’ standings by 21 points to Ferrari.
