Max Verstappen doesn’t think that McLaren or Renault will pose a threat to Red Bull this season.
Max believes the team are right to focus on Ferrari and Red Bull who are expected to be in the title fight this season.
Regarding McLaren and Renault, Verstappen said: “You pay attention to everybody, but I don’t think they will be our main rivals.''
“And we don’t want that to be the case as well, because that would mean we are not doing such a good job. We need to look ahead.”
Last time out, Red Bull finished in 3rd, 300 points behind Mercedes and 181 points in front of 4th place Force India.
