MUMBAI: Max Verstappen has won 25 of the 44 races in the last two seasons on way to clinching back-to-back drivers’ championships. And a winning start to the 2023 campaign with a dominant display at the Bahrain Grand Prix makes David Coulthard believe that he can land a hat-trick of titles.
The Red Bull driver won the first race by more than 11 seconds over his teammate Sergio Perez and his competitors struggled to keep pace. While Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc pulled out with a technical issue, his teammate Carlos Sainz Jr (fourth) and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton (fifth) finished almost 50 seconds behind the Dutchman.
