Franz Tost: 'Max Verstappen needs another year at Toro Rosso'

Franz Tost claims that Max Verstappen will become world champion, if he has a competitive car.

Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost has suggested that teenager Max Verstappen is capable of winning races and world titles with the right car.

Verstappen became the youngest racer in Formula 1 earlier this year and has scored points in his maiden campaign.

However, Tost has claimed that the 17-year-old can achieve more in the sport, but is adamant that Verstappen needs one more year with the Red Bull sister team.

He told De Telegraaf: "If Max had a good car at his disposal, one with a good engine, of course he could fight for victories and titles.

"Preferably with Red Bull, but I think at this stage of his career the wisest thing would be that he stays with us for another year."

Toro Rosso are currently seventh in the constructors' championship.
