Max Verstappen: “We already lost too many points”

The Dutchman was second in the Singapore GP and, although he discounted Oscar Piestri and Lando Norris again, he considers that the land assigned at the start of the tournament is very large.

Just three races back, finished the GP of the Netherlands, Max Verstappen was 104 points from Oscar Piastri, the firm leader of the F1 World Cup. Three big prizes later, and after the double of successes in Italy and Azerbaijan and the second place of Singapore, is 63when there are 186 at stake. Will you reach you to win your fifth title in a row?

“For that, you have to win, we have to dominate. We are not doing it, at least it was not achieved this weekend. We are not recovering enough rhythm. We had to win today. We have already lost too many points at the beginning of the season, but we tried to go a career to a race, doing our best we can”Said the tetracampeon.

In the race, the Dutch was never a threat to George Russell, the clear winner of the Singapurean Grand Prize. In fact, in the last turns he had to defend himself from the attacks of Lando Norris. “I think the general problem we had today was that nothing went well. I had many problems with the changes, both when going down and when climbing, it was hard for meVerstappen explained.

Max still can not win in the urban of Marina Bay, the only track of the current F1 calendar in which he never climbed to the highest step of the podium. Anyway, in the context of the competition, he went as he went: “Unfortunately, the whole race was quite difficult, more difficult than I expected. There are some things that we must understand why they went wrong. But even, even if you have more rhythm, here you can’t advance without something crazy. I think for us the second place was the maximum result. ”
