Max Verstappen wins third consecutive Formula One world championship<\/h3>\n

Eddie Jordan has revealed that he believes\u00a0Oscar Piastri is the likeliest candidate to rival Max Verstappen for the driver\u2019s championship over the coming years.\u00a0Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are among those who believe that they can push the Red Bull star all the way in the future, though whether the Mercedes cars are capable of doing so remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Verstappen clinched his third successive title at the Qatar Grand Prix over the weekend, a result that was a foregone conclusion for many weeks after his sensational start to the season. The Dutchman looks set to enjoy an extended spell dominating Formula One, with many of his rivals struggling to work out how to land a blow.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old cruised to victory at the Luisail International Circuit, and Verstappen remains determined to finish the season in fine style and assert his dominance \u2013 even with the pressure off. However, the remaining pack will be hoping to lay down a marker before 2024 and, in turn, nominate themselves as the likeliest candidate to push Verstappen for titles in the future.<\/p>\n

Speaking on talkSPORT, former team owner Jordan feels Piastri will take up that role, claiming: \u201cYou have to think about McLaren. McLaren at the moment and Oscar Piastri is just fabulous and he is the only real one that I can see emerging that could take it to [Max] Verstappen in years to come.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd let\u2019s hope that happens because for a young kid, rookie of the year, to come in and win that Sprint Race on Saturday and finish second yesterday was simply staggering. And I have to say I have the height of respect for this kid and I think he\u2019s got a massive future. Let\u2019s see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russell and Hamilton have both expressed disappointment at not pushing for victories over the past few weeks, and neither of the pair being named by Jordan could raise eyebrows within the Mercedes camp as a result.<\/p>\n

Jordan went on to claim that, despite singing the praises of Piastri, he believes that Verstappen has all the qualities to dominate the sport for many years to come. He continued: \u201cSometimes you look at Messi and you think \u2018My God, how did he score that goal?\u2019 Forget Ronaldo for a moment, or Maradona.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis guy (Verstappen) is so special, he\u2019s so dedicated, he\u2019s so committed at everything. It\u2019s almost boring because he\u2019s in the simulator. Right now today he\u2019s going through exactly the corners, the turns, how he can go quicker in Austin the next race, and so forth. He\u2019s that dedicated to the job of dominating, and that\u2019s what he is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
