Verstappen reveals surprise over rivals’ F1 margin
Max Verstappen has expressed his surprise at Red Bull’s strong start to the season, as they emerged as the fastest team compared to their rivals. This was evident in the Bahrain Grand Prix, where Verstappen finished nearly 40 seconds ahead of the next non-Red Bull car. The team’s impressive form has continued throughout the season, with Red Bull winning all but one of the 16 races held so far. Verstappen himself has been a crucial part of this success, winning 13 races and potentially securing his third World Championship at the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix. Despite expecting closer competition, Verstappen admits that he was pleasantly surprised by Red Bull’s dominant start to the season.
