Verstappen answered many questions in
2021 and will forever be the driver who ended Hamilton’s reign at the top of F1. There’s no reason to think he’ll be anything other than a leading contender again, providing the RB18 is as quick as everyone expects. The only obvious weakness in his game – both from an ethics and points-accumulating stance – is his aggression in wheel-to-wheel combat, and it might take actions by others to curb that.
