Red Bull’s RB20 struggled to perform at its best during the Dutch GP. Max Verstappen had difficulty maintaining the speed needed to stay in the lead. While Lando Norris was faster and ultimately overtook him to win the race by nearly 23 seconds. Verstappen admitted that the team isn’t sure what went wrong for them at Zandvoort.

Max Verstappen explained that it’s tough to figure out where Red Bull went wrong with their car’s performance. He mentioned doing his best to get the most out of the car and find the best setup to improve its speed and handling. However, it is not easy because there are limits on what changes they can make to the car during a race. These limitations make it harder for him and the team to experiment with different settings and find the perfect balance.

It's very difficult to understand where things went wrong. I'm trying to get the most out of it and find the best setup for the car. It's very difficult to do that because we're limited in what we can do with the car.

Max Verstappen told RacingNews365

Max Verstappen admitted that he wants to win the championship and maintain a strong lead. However, it is important not to start a race weekend thinking that the car can’t be improved. He noted if they believe nothing can be changed or adjusted, it could lead to losing more points. As per him, staying optimistic and being open to making changes is crucial for getting the best performance.

I want to win the championship and have a nice lead, but you can't start the weekend thinking you can't change anything about the car and it might cost more points.

Max Verstappen wants to start each weekend with ‘best possible setup

Max Verstappen emphasized the importance of starting each race weekend with the best possible setup. This ensures the car is in optimal condition and all adjustments are fine-tuned before the race. However, Red Bull faces limitations on bringing necessary upgrades due to restrictions, which could result in penalties if they exceed the allowed number of changes.

You want to start every weekend with the best possible package.

Max Verstappen stated.

Therefore, Red Bull must focus on identifying and addressing issues without introducing new upgrades to the car. Fans are looking forward to their performance in Monza, as it’s a crucial race where failing to perform well could result in losing their lead to McLaren.
