Max Verstappen is looking forward to a new fight with Mercedes during the Spanish Grand Prix next weekend. The Dutchman knows where Red Bull Racing needs to improve.

Fight with Mercedes

"It's different every weekend", says Verstappen at the FIA press conference according to Motorsport-Magazin.com. "Sometimes it's top speed, sometimes we're a little faster in the corners. Even the two weeks at Silverstone were a little different."

Verstappen is ready for the fight with the Mercedesses this weekend. "They certainly have a strong engine mode in qualifying. We know we can improve our chassis, but we also need more horsepower."

Triple headers

Also let the Dutchman know that he finds the current calendar with multiple triple headers what much according to Motorsport-Total.com. Verstappen understands that it is necessary because of the exceptional situation in which the world finds itself, but hopes that it will not become a habit in coming seasons.
