Four-time world champion and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has spoken about the upcoming Formula 1 season.
Idman.Biz reports that Verstappen believes the next season will not be easy for them.
"Will we be able to fight for victories? Time will tell. It is difficult for me to answer this question. I know that we will dedicate all our energy to the work. We are trying to keep up the pace, to make the most of the opportunities we have. But of course it won't be easy for us, we understand that," said the pilot.
Verstappen also commented on the departure of Helmut Marko, the former advisor to the Austrian Red Bull team.
"We had a very emotional conversation after the Abu Dhabi stage regarding Helmut Marko's departure. Everything will be a little different without him. But all good things come to an end sooner or later. If I go to Graz, I will definitely visit him. We have achieved a lot together and we will always remember that," Sky Sports quoted Verstappen as saying.
