Max Verstappen feels it is not worth worrying about the progress of other teams, instead focusing on what Red Bull can do to “stay on top” of the F1 fight.
Max Verstappen is determined to focus on improving the RB20 with Red Bull, rather than worrying about what rival teams have achieved in the F1 development race. Despite a dominant performance last year, they have faced tougher competition recently, with only seven wins out of 10 rounds this season. Since the Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull’s rivals have made significant progress, with McLaren and Ferrari achieving victories. Verstappen remains focused on optimizing his own package and working closely with his team to stay competitive. As Mercedes has closed the gap, turning the front trio into a leading quartet, the challenge from Lewis Hamilton and the Brackley squad is a topic of discussion. Despite uncertainties around upgrades and competition, Verstappen is steadfast in concentrating on what he and his team can control and influence.
