Each of them has achieved two victories in just four races, making the championship battle look promising this season. For now, the Monegasque driver holds an advantage over his Dutch counterpart, as Verstappen had to retire twice, including once in the opening race in Bahrain.<\/p>\n<p>His victory at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, in addition to his victory in the sprint race, allowed him to score a total of 34 points in just one weekend. A record. Furthermore, Charles Leclerc&#8217;s mistake in the final laps contributed to narrowing the gap between the two drivers. But the season is long and nothing is set in stone yet.<\/p>\n<p>The 2009 world champion, Jenson Button, revealed that he expects to see more exciting duels between Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. \u00ab Charles seems very calm, \u00bb Button declared. \u00ab Max throws everything at him, and Charles appears very relaxed behind the wheel and chooses his moments. He is very strong, and with a car like this, which is truly competitive, it is difficult to beat him, but if anyone can do it, it&#8217;s definitely Max. \u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab The Red Bull is also a good car. We might see Mercedes a little later in the season, but it will take them a few races before they can be up front.
