Guenther Steiner has made a U-turn on Max Verstappen's title chances, telling The Red Flags Podcast that the Red Bull star is still very much in the running for the 2025 drivers' championship. Joking, he added that McLaren could help him do so, too.
“I was completely no a few races ago, I’m saying yes,” Steiner said when asked if the Dutchman is still in with a chance of the title. “And his best ally to win this championship is McLaren.” He then added with a grin: “The papaya rules are for Max.”
