In total Red Bull Racing reported four upgrades for the Belgian Grand Prix weekend, and Max Verstappen is delighted by what he sees so far.

Red Bull's setup choice was the cornerstone to Verstappen's sprint win at Spa-Francorchamps, coupled with his driving of course.

But did the front wing, sidepod, engine cover and front suspension updates to his RB21 prove crucial to his sprint win on Saturday at Spa?

Speaking to media including GPblog, Verstappen judged the positives of the recent upgrade package implemented for the race weekend in Belgium.

"Yeah, I think it's been good. I mean, we just tried to optimize the car, we tried to put performance on it, like everyone else, and I think we are doing that."

Verstappen pushes Red Bull to press on

Verstappen sits 68 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri, and although the championship has been written off by the Dutchman himself multiple times, there are still twelve races to go in the 2025 F1 season.

Sticking to his 'never say die' philosphy, whilst he makes no title bid claim, he urges Red Bull to keep pushing.

"That's for sure a positive, so we just need to keep doing that," Verstappen concluded.
