Max Verstappen is confident that he will make a strong comeback in the upcoming race in Japan. The Australian Grand Prix saw the three-time World Champion retire due to reliability issues with his Red Bull RB20. This was the first time since his DNF at Albert Park itself back in 2022. Despite being disappointed, Verstappen expressed his determination to bounce back in Japan in a few weeks’ time.
Verstappen expressed his pride in his team for their consistent reliability over the past few years. He eagerly looks forward to getting back on track and winning the Japanese Grand Prix. The Dutch driver is excited about the opportunity to regain dominance with Red Bull on the fast-paced circuit.
Red Bull and Verstappen will approach the race at Suzuka with even greater determination. The high-speed nature of the track suits the RB20, making it only a matter of time before Verstappen secures the top position.
The early retirement of three-time World Champion Max Verstappen in Melbourne came as a shock to everyone at Red Bull. However, the team’s consultant had a different perspective on the DNF. He saw it as unexpected but beneficial, as it will motivate the team to work harder and improve before the race in Japan. The consultant also acknowledged that it must have been entertaining for fans to witness someone other than Verstappen win.
In contrast to other team members, the Austrian consultant viewed Verstappen’s retirement in a more positive light. He remained optimistic and believed that it was a one-time occurrence for Red Bull.
