David Coulthard said in an interview with motorsport

Verstappen has to achieve a lot to be truly deemed as the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time. His eyes are currently set on clinching a fourth consecutive title, beating the likes of Lando Norris in the fierce driver’s championship tussle.

It’s a sprint weekend so you’ve got to hit the ground running. You’ve got to take into account all of those elements. The whole team has been working incredibly hard in understanding the issues, addressing them and getting hopefully remedies on the car for Austin.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner spoke on the F1 Nation Podcast

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has spoken on the team’s approach ahead of a crucial race in Austin this month. Horner has stated the fast nature of the track while emphasizing the importance of the Sprint weekend.

The Milton-Keynes outfit has failed to mitigate persisting issues since the start of this season. As a result, other teams have handsomely exploited the reigning champions. Their results at Austin and Mexico will hence be of vital importance in dictating their title hopes for this year.
