“It’s Still Good Enough”: Max Verstappen Crushes Red Bull’s Dream to Bits by Issuing Surprising Prediction

There is only one driver who has been reigning the grid supremely this year, and it’s Max Verstappen. He has led 467 laps this season and won all but 2 races while doing so. And nothing is expected to change the way things are going till now. Red Bull is expected to continue to dominate and win both championships. But the Dutchman has reasons to believe that the team will not continue to dictate race weekend happenings.

The Milton-Keynes outfit has been the only team to win all the races this year. With the win at the British GP, they have equaled the record for most consecutive wins by a Constructor, with 11 wins. If Verstappen wins the Hungarian GP, Red Bull will surpass Ayrton Senna’s and McLaren’s 11-win streak (achieved in 1988). But the Dutchman feels that such a robotic dominance is hard to keep up.

Verstappen said, as quoted by F1maximaal, “When you’re fighting for the championship, it’s very important to be consistent and avoid mistakes. You’re just not a robot, you can’t be perfect. There are always things that can be improved, but you try to get as close to perfection as possible. I’m getting close, but it’s still good enough.”

His statements might not sound very believable looking at his current form and the RB19’s performance. But that is what he feels. And he has made another announcement that might dishearten his fans.

Max Verstappen Won’t Follow In Christian Horner’s Footsteps as He Rules Out the Possibility of Ever Being a Team Principal

There are several racing drivers who have gone on to become Team Principals in F1. Or if not F1, some other motorsport. But being a Team Principal comes with a lot more responsibility and one needs the ability to manage an entire team. From off-track activities to monitoring race performance, there is no moment for rest. And because of that, Verstappen plans to stay away from the path that Christian Horner is currently walking on.

“There’s so much money involved and I don’t want to be the person who has to make the decisions,” said Verstappen. “In addition, you really have to travel a lot. I’ve already done all that as drivers, so I certainly don’t want to do that again as team principal.”

His days of even being considered for a Team Principal are very far away. Currently, the focus is on how rampantly he can secure more victories and championships, even if he feels that robotic consistency or perfection is hard to come.
