Vettel heaps praise on Verstappen: 'It's unbelievable'

A race week in Formula 1 is not a race week if Red Bull's dominance has not been spoken about. In the RB19, Max Verstappen is on the top step of the podium at almost every Grand Prix. But Sebastian Vettel thinks there is much more behind it than just that good driver and that dominant car.

"People say he's got a dominant car. He might have," the German former Formula 1 driver told Sky Sports, recently hinting at a return to the premier class of motorsport. "He has a very good car, but also for the team, the job they're pulling off every weekend. It's incredible," he continued.

"And you see other drivers. They're just not as consistent. Everybody should get up and applaud. I know that people don't like to see the same guy winning and so on. It was like that with Michael, with Lewis, with myself for a short time, and now with Max. You cannot appreciate the excellence enough," Vettel said.

The Formula One world champion said he "could not rule out" never racing in Formula One again. The four-time world champion had a demonstration in an RB7 on the Nordschleife in Germany.
