Mercedes will struggle to intervene in the new Max Verstappen versus Charles Leclerc head-to-head for the 2022 title. “All I know is that I couldn’t keep up with the Haas in the end,” he said. “I think it’s a better fight with Leclerc and Ferrari than it was with Mercedes. “I know we’ve only had two races, but I don’t think it will escalate like with Mercedes.”. “As things stand at present, it will be a duel between Max and Leclerc,” said Marko. “Even if Mercedes catches up, I don’t think they can match this pace over a race distance.”.
