Mark Webber thinks that Lewis Hamilton is favourite to win a seventh world title in 2020, but says that he will face more competition from Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. Hamilton has had it pretty much his own way in the last three years, with Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas both trying but failing to come close enough.
The Brit seems to be the overwhelming favourite to take yet another title next year, and although Webber is backing him to do so, he thinks Ferrari are looking good for the constructors' title.
The former Red Bull star told Formule1.nl: “At least Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel can score regularly.
“For the constructors’ championship, Ferrari may look good, although I think Lewis will still show his superiority in the driver classification over a whole season.
“We don’t even have to talk about Verstappen anymore.

“He is now an established name and is on fire! I look forward to seeing Hamilton match Michael Schumacher’s seven world titles by 2020 while having to deal with Leclerc and Verstappen.”
