Verstappen confirms: No more updates for RB16B this season

Max Verstappen doesn't think Lewis Hamilton can continue driving with this high engine setting until the end of the season. The Red Bull Racing driver thinks that the Mercedes engine could lose some horsepower in the last three Grands Prix of the season. Verstappen also confirms that there will be no further updates for Red Bull.

"It's clear that Mercedes were very fast on straights. New engine of Lewis is expected to lose some performance soon. It may look a bit more dramatic now than it actually is," Verstappen said in front of De Telegraaf after the Brazilian Grand Prix.

No updates Red Bull

At Sky Sports, the 24-year old Dutchman confirmed that there will be no more updates for the RB16B. Red Bull will have to unlock extra speed from the existing package. "No new parts are coming but we will just try to make the best of what we have," he explains.

Helmut Marko and Christian Horner thought it was a good choice of the race direction not to give Verstappen a penalty after the duel with Lewis Hamilton in lap 48. TotoWolff had a very different view, but how does the main driver himself see it? "We both braked late into the corner trying to get the position and I think it was fair enough," he said.
