Max Verstappen Argues Red Bull’s Case Despite Obvious Mistakes: “Why Do We Need to Change It?”

For every Red Bull fan, February 3, the day Red Bull was going to reveal their RB19, was a highly anticipated event. However, when the car’s cover was lifted, we could see that the 2023 model was not very different from RB18. When the team’s top driver, Max Verstappen, was questioned about the appearance of the car, despite the lack of any major changes to the car, the Dutchman appeared to be pleased.

As it turns out, the 25-year-old thought the car was too cool-looking and there was no need for the livery to change.

Verstappen said during the car launch, “ I think our livery has been pretty similar for a couple of years now, but I find it a cool-looking car. It shows the Red Bull colors all over the place. We have had a lot of success like that, so why do we need to change it up a lot?”

With four races left in 2022, Verstappen claimed his second drivers’ world championship in Japan. But at the end of the previous season, it was clear that Ferrari and a resurgent Mercedes would give Red Bull strong competition in 2023. When asked to talk about the same, he added, “I can’t get into too many details about it. You are constantly trying to make it better, that’s what you are working on.”
