A season of challenges and perseverance

According to Verstappen, one of the keys to this season has been Red Bull's resilience: “In races where we did not have the fastest car, we worked together, kept calm and avoided mistakes. We maximized our performances, sometimes even outperforming. Our opponents did not always know capitalize, which made the difference.”

This ability to make the most of each situation was essential to winning this fourth coronation. By recognizing both his own efforts and the weaknesses of his competitors, Verstappen emphasizes the importance of teamwork and strategy.
