Ex-Formula 1 tea▨m bꦬoss Eddie Jordan reckons Lewis Hamilton should quit Mercedes to join Max Verstappen at Red Bull.

With his current contract set to expire at the end of the year, six-times world champion Hamilton is widely expected to agree 𝔉fresh terms with Mercedes for 2021 and beyond.

But Jordan feels a sensational switch to Red Bull would be a more exciting prospect for the sport, and the former Jordan boss believes Verstappen could beat Hamilton in t▨he same car.

“I personally believe that Lewis should go to Red Bull and not to Ferrari,” Jordan said in an interview with🐽 Dutch TV channel Ziggo Sport.

“I’ll tell you that is perfect, because the best young driver of all of Formula 1 at the moment is Max Verstappen. There is no 🎶question about it.

“His style, his speed, his intellect, his control on the track. Also his arrogance. A🍌nd grand prix winners and grand prix champions need a level of arrogance. That is obvious. And he has that.

“Whether he got it from Jos or whatever, I have no real idea, but the facts are that he has an unbe𒀰lievable talent. And what I believe is if he had a🍸 teammate like Lewis Hamilton, then I do believe he would be able to beat him.”

While Jordan believes that Hamilton is on the same level with all-time greats such as Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, he is fully convinced that Verstappen has the abilities to achieve si﷽m🎶ilar levels of success with the right machinery underneath him.

“I think Lewis at the end of this year wi൲ll be better than 🔯everybody,” he explained.

“I have to say that Lewis is on a level with Prost, Senna and Schumacher. And I think he is about to passꦜ them, until Max gets him𝔍self sorted.

“Then once Max gets on a roll, he will be exactly the same. I don’t think Red Bull are far away. Th🐈ey are extremely cl🤡ose. And I think they haven’t really been that lucky this year.

“We saw the DNFs of Max and a few little♍ issues, you know. [Alex] Albon finished third last race. I do believe that the engine, the Honda engine, has the equal or will be the equal very soon of the Mercedes.

“So as I said to Adrian, Adrian Newey: 'You have to make a better car, because if you perform like I know that Max can perform, then it is a world championship there for you to have with Red Bull'ꦯ.”
