Debate after clinch
Max: Russell? “We spoke briefly after Abu Dhabi”
Max Verstappen reviewed the past season in the ServusTV show "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar-7" and is already looking ahead to 2025. The Dutchman is convinced that Red Bull will no longer be the favorite next season, but he has spoken to George Russell after the clinch in Qatar.
The four-time Formula 1 world champion sees himself as the underdog in the coming season. "We won't be the favorites," said the Dutch Red Bull driver on Monday's Sport & Talk from Hangar-7 on ServusTV. "We still have to change a lot of things to be number one again. But that's okay and maybe sometimes good not to be the favorite at the start of the season."
Smoothing the waters
At the end of last season, McLaren and Ferrari had the faster cars compared to Red Bull Racing, while Mercedes was also faster at times than the Austrian-British racing team. Verstappen clashed verbally with Mercedes driver George Russell in Qatar, but the dust has now settled. "We spoke briefly after the race in Abu Dhabi - everything is okay. We'll start again next year and that will be fine," emphasized Verstappen.
Verstappen did not want to comment on the Red Bull future of team-mate Sergio Perez. "I can't say anything right now," said the 27-year-old in Salzburg. During the winter break until the first tests at the end of February in Bahrain, Verstappen will also be out and about on two boards. "I will also be skiing. Not too much or too aggressively, but it's part of it," said Verstappen, who is also expecting his first child with partner Kelly Piquet next year.
