Max Verstappen finds it difficult to compare the current season with the total dominance he displayed in 2023. While the Dutch driver appears to be in prime position to clinch another championship, he feels far less pride in the present season’s outcomes. To the public, a thrilling title race might seem more exciting, yet Verstappen secretly yearns for the ‘more enjoyable’ times of 2023.

Following the qualifying round for the Mexican Grand Prix, Max Verstappen spoke to Dutch journalists. With five race weekends yet to unfold, the championship is by no means decided.

In 2023, he secured his third title with six races remaining, finishing first in nineteen of the twenty-two Grands Prix.

Pride in Previous Achievements

From an external perspective, 2023 may not have looked as entertaining, but I take great pride in what we achieved. I wish the rest of the grid good luck trying to win nineteen races like we did,” he joked.

Consistency Pays Off

There is a significant chance that Verstappen will emerge as a champion once again this year.

Heading into the Mexican Grand Prix, the gap between the two drivers stands at fifty-seven points.

The Thrill Ahead
