Verstappen believes “it was a good result but we have to work hard to improve”

Max Verstappen had a very successful start to his 2019 season and his relationship with Honda. Red Bull's new engine supplier managed to get the Red Bull on the podium, something with few would have predicted that they would achieve so early in the season. Verstappen is pleased with the result but admits that he is a bit worried about the gap to the Mercedes.

It is clear to see that the relationship Red Bull has with Honda is immediately better than the one that they had with Ferrari and they will hope that this allows them to gain speed and try and catch the Mercedes.

“I think Valtteri was very far ahead still,” he said. “It was a good result but we have to work hard to improve.”
