Max Verstappen said on Thursday at Imola that he feels more pressure from himself than from his rivals…
Max Verstappen: “The first five races of this year were not as easy as it seems. From the outside it may seem that there are no difficulties, but every weekend I challenge myself and try to get the most out of driving.
For me, the Grand Prix is never boring. I don’t need another team or another rider to fight. I always fight only with myself and try to achieve the maximum result. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything, I don’t expect anything to be added that will confirm our speed. It is not necessary.
It is important to pay attention to details. In some ways you may be faster than your rivals, in other ways you may be inferior – it depends on them. Some weekends are better than others, but we can’t choose. Overall, it seems to me that since the beginning of the year, some teams have come closer to us than last year.
We started the season well and did a lot of things well. It’s a shame that I retired in Australia and lost a lot of points, but overall I expect the competition to be fiercer this year than last year.
