The Dutch pilot Max Verstappen (Red Bull) stated this Wednesday that the new RB20 is “quite promising”, like everything surrounding the Red Bull team, but he wants to take the pressure off by making sure they “just” finish the tests and he still doesn’t know if they are “fast enough” to win fourth consecutive world championship.
The three-time world champion commented in a press conference before the Bahrain Grand Prixthe first of the season, who “want to see” where they arebecause of the tests last week he felt comfortable and they fulfilled the set program, but, at the same time, he explained that there are “many races”, not only Bahrain, and the times are not significant.
When asked if he has pressure for a fourth crown, he said it’s better not to think about it, but rather “wake up, go to the track, run and then see the results.”
Also, he preferred not to talk about the team leader, Christian Hornerwho will be investigated for his behavior by the team itself and says he is unaffected by his situation. “I hope to figure it out soon, but I’m focused on the car”Verstappen said.
“I don’t want to get involved. We believe in the process followed by Horner and we have to be patient,” highlighted ‘Mad Max’, who, like his colleagues, complained about the calendar, and insisted that they had “exceeded the limit of the race.”
“I’m young but I’m not going to spend ten years doing 24 races a year. “You have to think about quality and not quantity,” said Verstappen, who concluded by emphasizing that not only “this is not sustainable,” but there is a moment “where you have to evaluate your quality of life. ”
