FORMULA ONE: Confident Verstappen says Red Bull could win every race in 2023
June 2, 2023

World Champion Max Verstappen is feeling confident as the Formula 1 circus moves to Barcelona for the weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya.
The Spanish Grand Prix is the seventh race of the current season with Red Bull having won each of the previous six race. And the confident Dutchman, who boasts four of those wins, believes that his side could win all the races this year, such is their current dominance.
Speaking to the media he said: “How it looks at the moment, I think we can do it. But there are always things that go wrong.
“We will always have tracks where it doesn’t work out exactly, bad luck in qualifying, mistakes, whatever,” he said.
He went on to say that F1 was an ever-changing ecosystem where teams were constantly making tweaks and changes as they sought optimal performance.
He said the best way to ensure competitive racing was to leave the technical rules and regulations unchanged for as long as possible.
“If you keep on tweaking things teams will always find something and then it takes a bit of time for everyone to catch up.
“We have always seen this in F1, it is nothing new, the longer you leave the regs the same, the closer people will get. Maybe this is something we need to look at.
“You have the odd year or two where maybe two teams are fighting but overall, from the 1980s, through the 1990s to now, it has been pure dominance of a certain team.”
