Verstappen – Red Bull needs to make weekends “less difficult”

F1 world champion Max Verstappen has said that Red Bull needs to stop making race weekends so difficult for themselves.

Verstappen missed out on a front-row start at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix after he was beaten by the Ferrari duo of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.

Verstappen made it clear that his squad needs to stop making weekends so difficult if they wish to challenge Ferrari for race wins and the championship.

He said:

“Where we’ve come from, I think we did a really good job but we have to start making the weekend’s a little bit less difficult because, like this, it’s always going to be tricky.”

However, despite the loss, the reigning world champion remained positive, saying that P3 was good given the team’s issues through the weekend.

“Overall, I’m pretty pleased with Qualifying, I literally did four or five laps yesterday so the whole day, today, we’re still trying to learn the track, trying to find a decent balance in the car.

“Actually, to be that competitive in Qualifying, I think I was a bit surprised because this is not an easy track to learn and, yeah, I think, overall, of course we want to be on pole.”
