"Formula 1" racing star Max Verstappen is eagerly awaiting the results of the "Ballon d'Or" voting.

According to the Dutchman, it is particularly difficult this year to predict who will win the prestigious award.

"What the 'Barça' talent Lamine Yamal shows on the pitch is incredible, especially considering how young this player is.

Undoubtedly, after the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, there is no clear favorite for the voting. At least not for me.

There is no standout player who is head and shoulders above the remaining competitors.

Some of them may be too young, but I am convinced that in the next few years L. Yamal will still triumph in the 'Ballon d'Or' awards," said M. Verstappen.
