As a driver, you have to be on top of your game every single time. You need to find what works for you because every single driver is different in their approach. But you do have to understand what works for you, I think I understood that very well.

Max Verstappen noted

The 2025 season might be a different story for Verstappen as Red Bull would have to score a massive turnaround in performance. Milton Keynes’ performance struggles must improve if the Dutchman wants to win his fifth consecutive title. The coming season would be highly enticing as the playing field seems leveled now amidst multiple teams.
