Verstappen reveals title battle 'doesn't feel like a fight' against the superior McLarens

"For me it doesn't really feel like a fight, to be honest," the Dutchman began to GPblog among others.

According to Verstappen, this is not the exciting season for him so far. "I'm more excited if I know that we're going to be super quick. That's the most exciting. The rest, I mean, I always try to do my best. But this year so far, it had some real positives, but of course also some negatives. With some races we are of course really off the pace which is not enjoyable."

Even as his fighting spirit does not change, he also added: "That is also never disappearing. But that also doesn't mean that I'm enjoying it or loving it. I like it. It's not going to be, up until this point, not going to be remembered forever for me."

In terms of whether this weekend can be a good indicator for the rest of the season, the Dutchman explained that no matter what happens, Red Bull will still have their issues on other circuits.
