That’s not very on-message! Mercedes chief Hubert Haupt – who competes in German touring championship DTM – says he wants Lewis Hamilton to LOSE F1 World Championship to Max Verstappen for the good of the sport

Mercedes DTM boss Hubert Haupt wants Max Verstappen to win the Formula One World Championship over Lewis Hamilton. ‘In terms of Formula 1, it would be huge for Red Bull to win the title, so I hope Verstappen manages it. The title-deciding battlegrounds, Mexico and Brazil in particular, are expected to suit Verstappen’s Red Bull machinery. But Hamilton also has a knack for winning on the Mexican track and was victorious the last time Formula One was in Mexico in 2019. ‘I know that if my car is fast enough until the end of the season, I will win the championship.
