Red Bull Racing star Max Verstappen has reassured that he's not frustrated with the performance levels of his team for now at least, as the Dutchman has finished fourth for three consecutive races after getting a podium in Australia.

The Bulls partnered up with Honda ahead of the 2019 season, and expectations were high for the duo. However, after getting their first podium since last decade in Australia, Honda and Red Bull haven't provided the goods for Verstappen to compete for pole positions and wins just yet.

"It is not frustrating yet," the 21-year-old told Ziggo Sport.

"I still fight for places at the front, and we need to remain realistic.

"That's why we need to get started in closing the gap. The extra 20 horsepower helped, as it was better over the race distance."
