“Everywhere” - Max Verstappen’s ominous warning about Red Bull’s improvement for F1 2023
Red Bull enjoyed a positive three days of testing in Bahrain and appear to be the team to b🍌eat for this weekend’s season-opener.
Verstappen is eyeing his third consecutive drivers’ championship in F1 2023, while Red Bull could lift their sixth🐻 constructo🐓rs’ crown.
Speaking to the media on Thursday in Bahrain♛, Verstappen said: "We had three really good days, I think in general the progress we made over the winter was very good.
“But we have to show it this weekend and not only th𝔍is weekend but we have to continue to de🍌velop.”
He was then asked in what areas has the RB19 improved over its p🍃redecessor: “Everywhere. That’s the aim. You always try to improve it. It feels nice, well balanced.
“Every team has lost a bit of performance with thꦍe floor but you always try to gain that bac🌠k in a way so you have to find a bit of a new balance with the car but it’s been good.”
The identity of Red Bull’s ne🅷arest challenger is still unclear after mixed tests for Ferrari and Mercedes.
Based on testing, Aston🎉 Martin were up there, particularly during the race simulations.
However, Verstappen is focusing on himself and ensuring Red Bull don’t “make too many mist𓆏akes”.
“The te🍨ams close to us but also I think at the end of the day, from ourselves because we have to sta𝓡y on top of things and we cannot afford to make too many mistakes,” he added.
“We’re not⭕ robots. Every🦩one makes mistakes but you try to minimise it.”
