F1 | Verstappen points to Mercedes: “We are close”

Max Vertsappen is ready to battle with Ferrari and Mercedes to win the championship. In an interview granted to the Dutch press, the standard bearer of Red Bull reiterated its objective for the upcoming season next July 5th in Austria, underlining how the entire Austrian team will try to give a hard time Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel.

Verstappen, we remember, was one of the fastest drivers during the pre-season tests in Barcelona, ​​which is why it will be reasonable to expect an extremely competitive Red Bull in Styria, also given the excellent races completed over the past seasons (Max won the top step of the podium the last two Grands Prix held in Austria).

“I'm training even more than before, about three hours a day,” said the Dutchman. “We hope we can get many victories this season and make the championship exciting. We are very close and at the level of Mercedes. Not just us, but also Ferrari."
