Schumacher expects competition for Mercedes: "Believe that Max can keep up"

Ralf Schumacher is expecting an exciting Belgian Grand Prix. The German analyst believes that Max Verstappen could challenge the speed of Mercedes on Sunday, but at the same time he also states that Racing Point will be able to fight for the podium.

Schumacher expects another 'strong' Mercedes at Spa-Francorchamps. However, it won't be plain sailing for Mercedes according to the former Formula 1 driver. "I believe Max will be able to keep up. But of course I also see the Racing Points with a big advantage," he told Sky. 

First podium for Racing Point in 2020?

Racing Point run on Mercedes engines and there is no doubt that they are the strongest power units. It should help Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez to get close to the RB16. "They will be fighting for the podium with Red Bull, I'm pretty sure of that," said Schumacher.
