As in every race week, the appointment returns Thursday with the press conference of the pilots. Max Verstappen says his on various topics…
Verstappen's opinions on the circuit
"Why this race it will be more difficult than the one of Monza? Because I think that we won't be as competitive as on other tracks. I believe that i city circuits are a little more difficult for our car. However, I think we can do a good job, but we will be very close."
"How I see the new changes made to padel? Well, they are fine, is less braking compared to last year. We will be more relaxed. And from a technical point of view there probably will be less stress on the tires, less wear, I hope it can also help the race in terms of battles. However it will also depend on done if you can enter the area DRS or not."
From the record of 10 consecutive victories to the praise for the team
Speaking of the record of 10 consecutive victories which undermined the precedent of 9 held by Vettel for ten years..."Does it take the pressure off me? Meh, me I never looked at 8-9-10 wins. I've always wanted try to do the best possible. Naturally, every weekend there's the same amount of pressure you put on yourself on you to try to get the best possible result. So nothing changes, actually, from that point of view. "
And the Red Bull could win the constructors' championship already this weekend. The question therefore arises spontaneously whether in these 8 years the two-time world champion Max Verstappen has already perceived a similar one quality of work by the stable. "I think the level has always been quite high for the team, though we didn't have a car this strong until this year. Clearly the car was already very good last year; the years before we were close: we won here and there... And sometimes we were fighting for the constructors' championship, though I believe that we have united even more and that we have understood this new regulation very well.” And the last, very human words could be particularly moving for the members of Red Bull. "AND when there are good people in every position in the team, then you can achieve something like what you are witnessing now."
