How Ferrari can make sure 'not even Max Verstappen' can beat Lewis Hamilton this year The 2025 Formula 1 season could see a version of Lewis Hamilton that "not even Max Verstappen" can beat.
"If Hamilton has a fast car this season, we'll see the old Hamilton from a few years ago, the Hamilton that nobody can beat, not even Max Verstappen.
The Scuderia are without a title since 2008 and Montoya can see the Italians giving full backing to Hamilton and Leclerc this season to try to end that long wait.
He added: "Ferrari are putting all their eggs in the basket so they can compete this season, Mercedes don't have to risk much, McLaren have a huge opportunity to keep dominating before the 2026 regulation changes, where they could become average.
Some will choose not to put too much resource into the 2025 campaign, effectively writing off the season to try to get a jump start on their rivals in the sport's new era.
