“It has been hectic all the way through so I’m also pretty tired at the moment after always trying to be perfect and on top of my game. Winning the championship, your body needs a bit of time to recover.” Max Verstappen stated as per BBC“Confidence has never been a problem because as a driver, you always have to believe you can do it. Now that you have achieved it, it just relaxes you a bit. 

If I don’t win the race and come second next year, I will still be upset – I still want to win. Anything that happens now is a bonus but that doesn’t mean that once I have the opportunity to win, I won’t go for it in the same way again.”
