Max Verstappen is excited to perform with Red Bull Racing's RB19 to the outside world. Although it will be difficult for the Dutchman to match the successes of 2022, he hopes his team will again be very strong in the new season.

According to the two-time world champion, Red Bull's car in 2023 does not differ much from previous years. However, far from seeing this as a disadvantage, the driver of the Austrian formation notes that it actually demonstrates the team's strength.

"I think our livery has been pretty similar for a couple of years now, but I find it a cool-looking car," Verstappen stated during the car's unveiling. "It shows the Red Bull colours all over the place. We have had a lot of success like that, so why do we need to change it up a lot? We have a few partners on the car, and a few new partners on the car and that's what it's all about."

RB19 gives Verstappen hope

Verstappen expects to compete with the top teams again. "I can't get into too many details about it. You are constantly trying to make it better, that's what you are working on," said the driver, who does state that he has a good feeling about the car's performance.
