Max Verstappen has no interest in squabbling over the odd podium place during race weekends. However, in his 4 seasons at Red Bull, he is yet to drive a Championship winning machine.

Verstappen is arguably one of the best drivers in the sport today. Possibly second best only to Lewis Hamilton, who’s on another level. No matter how well the Dutchman performs, he needs a fast and consistently competitive car to deliver results.
