Coronel believes that he can and that he will drive the Verstappen all the way to the final checkered flag.

“Yeah, this is something I will definitely predict again,” told the Dutch racing driver Motorsport.com.

“In 2021 I have been very clear about it: it will happen. The last race. The last corner. The last round. Okay, yes, when it comes to the corner I was only four of.

“You have to be discouraged. The other wanted to show that he was really the best – as he was already then.

“Only then do you have to do it with the whole team. And of course he has shown it in recent years.

“So yes, I think it will be the battle between these two. Because if you just talk about the two best, fastest drivers – and I’m talking about the whole package – it’s these two.

“Then it’s Lewis and Max.”

Such was the intensity of the last Verstappen against the Hamilton title in 2021, the two protagonists claimed 14 one-two-ends in 22 races, which included a run of six that went back and forth to take the title match to the winner-takes all finals in Abu Dhabi.

They also had two huge accidents with Hamilton punished for colliding with Verstappen at the British Grand Prix, and sent him that hit the tire wall at speed, while Verstappen received a three-place network penalty after completing the Italian Grand Prix with its Red Bull F1 car sitting on top of Hamilton’s Mercedes.

Coronel believes that their F1 2025 battle can be as intense, with Hamilton’s Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc also playing a role.

“It’s not for nothing they were on top of each other in Monza,” he said. “It’s not for nothing they flew on Silverstone.

“It’s not for nothing they almost flew into each other’s hair.

“These two are so evenly matched. And then in a different style, in a different way, that I definitely think the two will meet in 2025.

“Since in my opinion, Ferrari is the car we really need to keep an eye on, especially in combination with Leclerc and Lewis. It is a team that is growing.

“So no, these two will only do it again. I have booked another ticket to Abu Dhabi, the last race. “
