Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing are no longer the top picks for every Grand Prix.
Verstappen says it’s more important to see how close Red Bull is to the competition rather than focusing on their rivals. He remains optimistic about the new updates his team has introduced and sends a warning to other teams.
Verstappen draws hope from Red Bull updates
When asked about McLaren and Mercedes, Verstappen said, “I think you can turn it around. How close can we be to the competition? I think the last few races, we have not had the quickest car so I don’t expect that to suddenly now be any different. We’ll bring upgrades so. So hopefully that will give it a good boost. I just want to try and see how that will work this weekend.”
Earlier in the season, Red Bull brought some updates like a new floor at Silverstone. Unfortunately, Verstappen couldn’t use it during the race because of damage from the previous day. “We brought stuff but they were not particularly big I would say. This is bigger than we have brought already so for everybody this is an important weekend,” he explained.
Fans might wonder if these changes will really make a difference.
Verstappen believes this weekend is crucial: “If this is not giving us some good lap time, then I don’t know of course how the rest of the season is going to evolve. We just focus on ourselves and we are bringing parts to the car and I hope that will give us a good lap time,” he concluded with determination.
What do you think? Will these updates help Red Bull win again?
