Verstappen's manager sees Vettel record falling: 'Monza is good for us'

Next Sunday, the Italian Grand Prix is on the programme. The race will be held at historic Monza, a track with many long straights. Raymond Vermeulen, Max Verstappen's manager, thinks the RB19 should suit the track in Italy.

Is there a limit for Verstappen?

Max Verstappen is having a hugely impressive 2023 season. The Dutchman won as many as 11 out of 13 Grands Prix and scored 93.6 per cent of the maximum number of points this season. This weekend, the Red Bull Racing driver can break Sebastian Vettel's unique saying record. "I think the sky is the limit. I think we have an amazing package with the team. The team have built a very competitive car," Vermeulen begins in the F1 Nation podcast.

Monza should suit RB19

The RB19 has many strengths, including straight-line speed. The Monza circuit is also known as the 'Temple of Speed' because of its many long full-throttle sections and that should suit Red Bull Racing's car well, Vermeulen also knows. "We go to Monza which should be good for us as well. I think we can still have some good wins this year. On the other hand, anything can happen for next year and the years beyond, so we should enjoy this moment in his career," concluded Verstappen's manager.
