Sebastian Vettel has said that Max Verstappen has 'all the ingredients" to be a World Champion.  

Many fans believe it. Verstappen will be a World Champion one day. Now previous Formula 1 World Champions are saying it. Vettel has praised Verstappen for his driving skill and ability and when speaking to express.co.uk the German racer said: 

"I think he's got all the ingredients. I think there's a couple of guys out there who have these qualities and Max is certainly one of them.

“I think both, to be honest, Max and Daniel have proven that they can be very, very quick and very consistent so I'm sure more of him, he'll be up here."

The four-time World Champion said, "I don't think he needs any advice."

Verstappen will be in the Honda-powered Red Bull next season and says that there is a "plan B" if things don't go well. 

Red Bull will hope that they have harnessed the pure talent of Verstappen and will be hoping that he has developed into a world-class driver.
