F1 | Red Bull, Verstappen wants even more: “We have to keep pushing”

At the moment he is the undisputed leader of this world championship. Max Verstappen is preparing to face the British Grand Prix with a 32 point lead over Lewis Hamilton, more determined than ever to close the championship gap at his home track. An incredible period for Red Bull, with five consecutive victories under its belt, something that has never happened in the hybrid era. The Dutchman is aware of the fact that the result at Silverstone will not be fundamental for the awarding of the title, but it is clear that a possible success for the #33 at Lewis' home could be of vital importance.

“We started this season very well, I'm happy about it, but we have to keep pushing, we can't just think about the results obtained so far – said a fierce Verstappen. It's going to be a tough challenge for the rest of the year, but that's what makes it so exciting. In Austria we were the best, our car was very good there, but in France we only won with a few laps to go, so the championship is very close, more than it might seem. There are some tracks coming up where Mercedes could be ahead of us, but we are a great team and we are doing everything we can to try to stay ahead. I'm willing to try sprint races, I like having less time to dedicate to free practice before going to qualifying, but let's wait, because it's difficult to say anything about it until you try it. In every race you take risks but you manage to control them, especially when you are fighting for the world championship, but this race will not define the final result."
