The Red Bull F1 driver is on course for his third consecutive championship, a🉐nd is building his own era of do🦹mination much like Lewis Hamilton’s and Mercedes’ before him.

He was asked by : “Red Bull and you, that fit💧s. Could you actually work in a more 'corporate' eඣnvironment like at Mercedes?”

Vers♋tappen answered:ꦬ “It is indeed a very different environment. 

“It's always im🐷portant to be yourself and keep telling it likeꦿ it is. 

⛎“Then it doesn't matter to me where that is. 

“If a team really wants m🐻e in such a situati🐻on, they will also go for you and I think you can also slightly adjust certain things. 

“Then you come together, so to speak. 

“At the moment, of course, t෴his is not th𒁏e case at all. 

“In the past I could never have i🥂magined that I would achieve this success. 

“I dreamed of reaching Formula 1 and maybe one day ౠdriving for a top team. 

“This is what I've always worked for. If people now star🐓t shouting 🦩that it's boring, so be it. 

“I also know the other s🐭ide of the coin. I don't think it's boring at all."

Versta⛄ppen w🎶as asked if he “ever needed a kick up the ass” as motivation during this period of dominance, with Red Bull winning every grand prix in 2023 so far.

"No, I don't think so,” he said. “We🐻 are also in a very good and nice rhythm as a team this season. 

“Such a fast car only makes it easier to mꦓotivate myself every weekend. In fact, it always has been. In karting I also✨ won a lot, but it was always very close together. 

“Thenꦡ in the run-up to a race I really couldn't think: we're goin꧅g to pick one up again this weekend. A small mistake was crucial. 

“At that time, I sometimes needed a kick in the ass, though. Then, for example, I was not fully awake during a training session. But over the ꧒years I've learned how to do it better."
