We can win every race this season, says Verstappen. How did he comment on Red Bull’s dominance in F1?

Absolute domination of Red Bull – perhaps this is the best way to describe the course of this year’s Formula 1 season. But can the Austrian team really win all the races this season? Max Verstappen answered that question at a press conference ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen has managed to win four of the six Grands Prix so far, finishing second twice. His teammate Sergio Pérez is slightly worse off in terms of points scored, but it’s still enough for the Red Bull drivers to dominate the drivers’ championship.

In addition, the Austrian team also leads the Constructors’ Cup, having already scored 249 points in six races. That’s simply an incredible number.

Fernando Alonso is Red Bull’s closest rival in the Drivers’ Championship with 93 points. However, it is in the team standings that the gap is even wider. In second place is currently Aston Martin, which is 129 points behind the first Red Bull at the moment.

Third place is held by Mercedes with 119 points, while the German team has only one point less than second-placed Aston (120).

Ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, reigning champion Verstappen answered questions from journalists from various international media outlets about Red Bull’s dominance.

We can win every race, but…

At the Barcelona circuit, Red Bull, led by Verstappen, will once again be the overwhelming favourite to win. Given the configuration of the circuit, it would even be unlikely, given the strength of the Austrian team, that anyone else could win.

How did the two-time F1 world champion react to the question of whether Red Bull can actually win all the grand prix on the calendar this season?

“Well, at the moment it looks like I think we can, but it’s very unlikely. Something always goes wrong, you withdraw from a race or whatever. But purely based on the pace, I think at the moment it looks like that,” Verstappen said at a press conference ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.

“As far as dominance is concerned, we’ve always seen that in F1, it’s nothing new. I think the longer you leave the rules the same, the more the teams will get closer (in terms of performance). So maybe that’s something we have to take into account as well,” Verstappen added.
