Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen from Red Bull assessed his chances of winning a fifth title in 2025 following his victory at the Japanese Grand Prix.
We want to be better than just sometimes being up there. So we just keep working hard and just see where we can be at in Bahrain already. Hopefully, we keep on improving the car, you know, with the through corner balance, and then, hopefully it also unlocks, just in general, a bit more pace.
