MERCEDES DTM boss Hubert Haupt wants Max Verstappen to win the F1 World Championship over Lewis Hamilton. And Haupt thinks ‘it’s time’ for someone other than Hamilton to be top of the F1 mountain. He told Sport1: “I think it’s time for someone other than (Lewis) Hamilton to become world champion. “In terms of Formula 1, it would be huge for Red Bull to win the title, so I hope Verstappen manages it. Hamilton won the last time F1 was in Mexico City back in 2019, but Verstappen has a knack for winning on the track too. He continued: “I know that if my car is fast enough until the end of the season, I will win the championship.
