Red Bull Responds to Max Verstappen’s Comments About Potential S…read more

Red Bull has addressed Max Verstappen’s recent remarks suggesting that he could have secured the 2024 Formula 1 Championship sooner had he been driving for McLaren or Ferrari. In a statement, the team expressed confidence in their own success and the strong partnership they’ve built with Verstappen.

The reigning world champion, who clinched his third consecutive title this year, made the comment in an interview where he reflected on his career trajectory. Verstappen noted that while Red Bull had given him the tools to succeed, he believed that McLaren or Ferrari, with the right car and circumstances, could have also led him to similar achievements at an earlier stage of his career.

In response, Red Bull acknowledged Verstappen’s talent and determination but emphasized that the team’s continuous development and strategic direction were key to his success. “Max has always been an exceptional driver, but it’s the combination of his skill and the resources Red Bull has invested in him that has made him the dominant force in F1 today,” a spokesperson for the team said.

Despite Verstappen’s comments, Red Bull remains committed to building on their winning formula as they head into the 2024 season, with the team focused on maintaining their championship-winning performance and continuing their collaboration with their star driver.
