Max Verstappen has called on Red Bull to provide him with a car capable of replicating their record-breaking season together in 2023.
Max Verstappen wants Red Bull to return him to the dominant position he held during his 2023 F1 championship season where he finished almost 300 points ahead of second place Sergio Perez.
Despite winning the drivers’ championship last season, Red Bull has struggled to replicate the success of the RB19 from 2023, as seen in their current RB21 car.
Verstappen emphasized the importance of fixing the car’s performance issues over relying on the performance of his teammate Yuki Tsunoda to close the gap against competitors like McLarens’ drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
While Verstappen acknowledged the tough competition and the team’s goal to finish one-two each weekend, he is focused on continuously improving and striving for better results in the upcoming races.
Overall, Verstappen believes that with a competitive car, individual and team strategies matter less, as seen in their successful 2023 season.
