Max Verstappen is now a two-time world champion, but that is not the end of the season for him. Red Bull Racing wants nothing more than to secure the constructors' championship title, a scenario that could happen as early as this weekend.

With four races to go, Red Bull has a 165-point lead over nearest pursuer Ferrari. Even if the Italian formation scores 18 points more than Red Bull in Austin, the latter team will be constructors' champion in America.

Verstappen begins in his preview for Red Bull Racing that he thought it was special to secure his second world title in Japan, but he has not yet had the chance to celebrate. For now, all eyes are still on helping his team to the constructors' title. It would be Red Bull's first constructors' title since 2013, then Mercedes emerged victorious eight years in a row.

"It was special to secure the Drivers’ Championship in Japan, I didn’t get the chance to celebrate too much as we’re still focussed on securing the Constructors’ Championship for the Team. The ultimate goal is of course to win both, but we need to keep our heads down, it will come if we keep performing well. I’m looking forward to the remaining races. It’s great to be back in Austin, I love the city and the track. Winning here last year was amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do this weekend."
