Max Verstappen

“Mistakes happen, and they happen to the best of us.”

“Overtaking is one thing. That is an art. But defending as well. You should be able to defend your position.”

“Of course there will be difficult times, and there will be more in the future, but I know what I have to do in the car.”

“This is what I have always done in my life, just racing and driving cars and go-karts fast.”

“Of course you learn from certain moments, and you always get more and more experience, so maybe in the future you will do some different things, but in general, the basics always stay the same.”

“We are getting way too much info in the cockpit. Sometimes I switch off the display in my car!”

“I always try to get the best result out of it, I'm not there to just sit second or sit third. I'm a winner, and I want to win every single race, and I will always go for it.”

“My dad always told me you have to be as quick as you can straight away out of the box. Some people say, 'Feel your way into it; build it up.' No. My dad would say, 'Straight away, you have to be there.' And I think that helps to warm up your tyres and brakes to be on it a bit more from lap one.”

“I have to say it was a very good start, a very good first season. I enjoyed it a lot, scored good points and gained a lot of experience.”

“I just want to do the best I can every time.”
