Max Verstappen, the reigning world champion, was on a warpath during the 2023 F1 season. With his prolific racing skills, he sent all his rivals into oblivion and scored grand prix wins for fun. While he is immensely pleased with his efforts, he has admitted that it would be a bit difficult for him to pull off a better campaign.

Max Verstappen during the recently concluded season, scored nineteen Grand Prix wins, secured the driver’s title, and also played a huge role in helping Red Bull wrap up the Constructors Championship during the Japanese Grand Prix weekend. He was simply in a class of his own this year.

Verstappen was recently asked to dwell on whether he would be able to produce a better campaign than 2023 in the upcoming years and as a response, he added;

Realistically, it can't be much better than what we have achieved, but I think it's not always about trying to win 20 races.

The Dutchman has admitted that as long as Red Bull is winning the Grand Prix wins count does not really matter to him.

It's also about just trying to find improvements within yourself and within the car. If that means next year we have improved the car and we can fight for the championship again, but you only win 10 races that's also fine. The competition around us has been quite up and down.

Max Verstappen has won 3 consecutive F1 titles

While Max Verstappen has indicated that it would be difficult for him to match or surpass his 2023 season, he has been putting in sublime effort since 2021. During that year’s campaign, he was put to the test in the world championship battle by the former 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton.

However, since then, it has been a relatively easy ride for Verstappen. He won the 2022 title quite comfortably and stepped everything up a gear during this year’s campaign to amass his third consecutive F1 world championship. He secured the 2023 title during the Qatar GP weekend.

Max Verstappen is the hottest property at the pinnacle of motor racing currently. He has all the skills in his arsenal to secure many world titles and with the way he is going, there is a very high possibility of seeing him setting the pace in the championship battle in 2024.
