Verstappen: Red Bull not strong enough to win

At the end of the winter tests in Barcelona (Spain), Mercedes et Ferrari have emerged as the main contending teams for the title. If Red Bull Racing can also be in the game with the RB13, the car of Milton Keynes nevertheless seems slightly behind, whether in terms of performance or reliability.

Max Verstappen confirmed this impression by admitting that he did not think that victory would be accessible at the start of the year with the RB13.

“We still have to wait to see what our level is, the Dutchman told the newspaper De Telegraaf. I don't think we can fight for victory at the moment. Many things can change during the year, but we are currently not competitive enough to impose ourselves. »

Is Max Verstappen looking to put maximum pressure on rival teams or is he demanding a start from his team? The first verdict will be delivered in a week with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
