Red Bull had an amazing 2020 season, the Milton-Keynes-based outfit took home 319 points with 2 wins and 13 podiums. The team went a further step and got Mexican driver, Sergio Perez, to increase their title hopes in 2021.

However, the team’s prodigy, Max Verstappen, said they need to be realistic and want to focus on the present rather than speculate about the future but is keen ongoing to Bahrain and finding out where they stand against their rivals.

Max Verstappen prefers to stick to reality for 2021

On being asked about their title hopes, the Dutchman said, “So to be honest, we don’t know yet. I always prefer to be realistic and there is no point in talking about these things right now.”We need to look at this when we go to Bahrain, we will see if we are successful in the first race.

Max added, “I don’t want to talk about it and raise expectations right now. We know where we want to be and where we want to get to, and we need to understand this right now.”(translated via Google)

The Milton-Keynes-based outfit got close to the silver Arrows due to Ferrari’s lack of performance, hence giving Red Bull to try to chase down Mercedes but couldn’t close enough. The team looks like title contenders in 2021 with a talented lineup behind the wheel in the form of Sergio Perez and Verstappen.

Does Red Bull have the wings to fly close to the Silver Arrows?

The team has brought in the Mexican to partner up with Verstappen for the 2021 season. Red Bull’s car, the RB16B, will be piloted by these two talented duos as they chase down Mercedes for the title.
