Max Verstappen puts the brakes on Red Bull and fans

The words of Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen will be the man to beat again in Austria.

However, the world champion, launched toward another title, curbs easy enthusiasm in a press conference: “I don’t know if we will be more dominant here than what we saw in Canada, we will only find out on the track. Also because it will be a hectic weekend for Sprint.”

A large number of Dutch fans are expected at the Red Bull Ring, and Verstappen indulged in some sage advice, “Don’t drink too much….”

It was Sebastian Vettel who was the first driver to win a world championship with Red Bull. The German put everyone in line for four years in a row, from 2010 to 2013. The Austrian stable returned to success in 2021 thanks to Dutchman Max Verstappen, with the son of art repeating the following year. If there was a battle to the last in 2021, that was not the case in 2022.
