Naomi Schiff cannot see Max Verstappen being troubled too much by anyone this season, apart from perhaps his Red Bull team-mate.
Verstappen is already a double Formula 1 champion and is gunning for his third-straight title in 2023. Charles Leclerc was his closest rival last year, but finished 146 adrift of the dominant Dutchman as Ferrari struggled with engine reliability issues and made plenty of strategy mistakes.
It remains to be seen which team will provide the sternest competition to Red Bull this year. Ferrari will expect to be in the fight again, Mercedes may hope to challenge later in the season and maybe Aston Martin might be able to compete, having started strongly.
