Max Verstappen puts pressure on Red Bull
But for Max Verstappenno question of putting pressure on his new young teammate: “ If we can't get the car back to the front of the grid, the name of the driver in the other cockpit doesn't matter. I don't have a crystal ball, but if we can rectify some weaknesses over the winter, we'll be back in front. But I'm certainly not making any predictions here. Five teams should fight at the forefront. Weaknesses have been reduced. We often lacked the necessary balance because we simply couldn't get into the right window with the temperatures. So we have to rectify this to be able to move forward again and fight, otherwise neither Liam nor I will be able to counter our rivals who will continue to progress this winter.. »
