Verstappen warns: 'We have to keep pushing'

For Red Bull Racing it was a perfect weekend in Baku: Max Verstappen won, Sergio Perez took second place and drove the fastest lap. On top of that Ferrari didn't manage to score a single point. Early in the season the world titles seem to go in the direction of Red Bull.

Long way to go

Yet Verstappen is anything but euphoric. In a press release from his team, the Dutchman is obviously happy how the season is currently developing. "It is of course great that we are ahead in the Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships but there’s still a long way to go, we need to keep pushing as a Team and maximise point scoring as much as possible." says Verstappen.

Pundits expect the Montreal circuit to be the best fit for the Red Bull. But it's also a given that, because of the corona pandemic, Formula 1 hasn't been active in Canada for several years. "We haven’t been to Montreal for a while so it’s exciting to go back and see how the track is, it has quite a unique layout and it will be interesting to see what the surface is like, hopefully our car will work well this weekend."

Same result as Baku

In any case, the goals are simple: "I always look forward to going to Montreal, it’s a really beautiful city and arriving off the back of a 1-2 in Baku, it would be great to leave Canada with the same result", Verstappen said.
