Max Verstappen is one of the most talented drivers on the grid and with his new Red Bull Racing contract, the aim is to win the championship and get back to a period of Red Bull domination.

"It's just very nice to be in the team, it is really enjoyable, a lot of fun, which I think is also important in the team," Verstappen told Motorsport.com.

"Everybody gets along very well with each other. And we all want to win, we have the winners' mentality.

"Everybody at the track and back at the factory, they are also motivated to show everyone that we can get back to those winning days of Red Bull dominating. We just want to try and recreate that."
