Verstappen: 'He did extremely well'

Red Bull Racing, along with Max Verstappen, is once again at the top of the championship this season. The first half of the season proved this went almost flawlessly, but the competition is currently doing everything it can to close the gap to the top team.

So far, Red Bull's combined team has won all the races this season. Verstappen therefore considers this a good achievement by himself and the team. Despite the wins, there have also been a few blunders, but Verstappen expects to learn from these. "We just need to keep on working. Sometimes you have a few tough moments where you make mistakes, you learn from them, you become a better driver and you move on. That's how it goes. Some things are also out of your control," said the two-time world champion.

Earlier, Verstappen says he sees improvement at other teams such as Mercedes and Mclaren. It is particularly noticeable at McLaren, with Lando Norris taking second place twice in a row.

Verstappen: "First of all, I think it's quite incredible to see where they were in Bahrain and where they are now, McLaren. But I think Lando has done extremely well. But this is also not a surprise to me. It's just good to see, finally, that when you have a competent car, you can do a good job in P2 twice. It doesn't need a number, even."
