Verstappen arrives in Bahrain with the only goal of making the world championship trio. And after the three days of testing, the situation for the Dutchman and Red Bull looks promising. In the first press conference of the season, the Dutchman seemed more than relaxed, but always careful not to let go.
Did you have a nice winter?
“Yes, I've spent a lot of time with my family and friends. I didn't think much about Formula 1 until we got closer and closer to the beginning.".
Verstappen favourites, but we still need to work hard
We all think you are the favorite after the tests, what do you think?
“It's been three good days. We did a improvement over last season, however we have to see if our data will be confirmed this weekend and during the season".
Where has Red Bull improved since last year?
“We tried to improve it a little bit of everything, or rather that is the ambition. At the moment the sensations are good, as well as balancing. Everyone has lost a bit of performance after and changes to the bottom, but try to recover it in some other way. We need to find a new balance and we stopped here".
What are the threats to you?
“Obviously the teams that are close to us, but I think we can also be a threat: we have to stay on track and we can't make too many mistakes".
