"It’ll be a little bit more difficult, for us," Verstappen told the Italian Grand Prix weekend. "But we'll see. We'll do our best. And of course, we'll try to go in there and try to win it again. But it's not going to be the strongest weekend for us," concludes the reigning and two-time world champion.

Of the 14 Grands Prix held this season, Verstappen managed to win no fewer than 12. The other two races were won by Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez, who is regularly criticised for underperforming. In the constructors' championship, Red Bull has built up a lead of 310 points.
