Max Verstappen believes Red Bull must push harder than its F1 rivals if it is to adequately respond to the “hunger” and “desire” of the chasing pack.
Max Verstappen is urging Red Bull to respond to the hunger and desire shown by rival F1 teams. He believes that Red Bull must push harder than their competitors to maintain their title-winning form. Despite a strong start in 2024 with three one-two finishes in the first four races, Red Bull has struggled to maintain its performance levels from the previous season. Teams like McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari have closed the performance gap, leading to Verstappen’s winless run in the past four rounds. Although Red Bull’s pace advantage has diminished, Verstappen insists that they must work harder to stay ahead of the competition.
