F1 | Red Bull, Verstappen and the Honda engine: “I'm excited for 2019”

The battle for second place won with Hamilton gave new energy to Max Verstappen, visibly enthusiastic on the podium in Austin. The good results put us in a good mood and the young Dutchman is eager to finish the season to start dedicating himself to the next one. Especially given that in 2019 he will be the top driver afterRicciardo's farewell and also seen the arrival of the new Honda engine.

As already stated several times in recent times, Verstappen can't wait to test the potential of the new supplier in the race: "I'm very excited for 2019. For the moment the Honda engine is really very fast in qualifying. We certainly want to finish this season on a high note but the team is already focused on next year: they are all very motivated."

On Honda: “They are working freely for build the engine according to what they have in mindAnd. They no longer have to deal with the team they had to deal with before (McLaren, ed.). There are new people, new management and everything seems to be working very well. We'll have to see how the work continues but for now everything is going in the right direction and I'm very satisfied."
