Verstappen: “Good improvements in Austria, but the situation changes every week”

Silverstone, Verstappen recharged Max Verstappen arrives at Silverstone after a weekend in Austria which restored confidence in Red Bull. The updates brought by the Milton Keynes team have changed the face of the RB22, and the Dutchman showed a competitive pace, even if the final result did not allow him to secure his first victory of the season. Silverstone represents one of the toughest tests of the entire calendar, thanks to its high-mileage corners and long flat sections. It is a track where the Red Bull of the past could have thought of dominating due to its chassis superiority, but this season aerodynamics have been the most obvious weakness of the RB22. For Verstappen it will therefore be an opportunity to understand whether the developments introduced by Red Bull at his home track will allow him to return to continuously fight for success even on such a demanding track. Verstappen’s words “We have made good progress, but so far it has been like this throughout the season: if a team introduces a rather significant update they take the lead, then another comes along and overtakes them again. So, we simply have to be aware that this can be repeated with other teams”, this is Verstappen’s comment. “We need to focus on our package, trying to optimize it further and see if we can get more results like the one we had seven days ago.” “If I can always aim for victory? It depends a lot on the circuits and the updates of the other teams. Some tracks, of course, will work a little better for us, in others we will do worse; we will see how this weekend goes. We are learning, I really don’t know what position we will be in. The situation changes every week,” he concluded.
