Max Verstappen mengatakan Red Bull sedang ‘bekerja keras’ untuk berada dalam kondisi terbaik untuk menjadikannya tiga kejuaraan pembalap berturut-turut
Max Verstappen menegaskan Lewis Hamilton adalah salah satu dari banyak pembalap yang dapat menantangnya untuk gelar Formula 1 tahun ini, dan telah mengisyaratkan dukungannya untuk aliansi Red Bull yang baru diumumkan dengan raksasa mobil AS Ford.
Melenturkan otot mereka dari belakang mendominasi kejuaraan tahun lalu, Red Bull memulai musim 2023 mereka dengan penuh gaya dengan peluncuran mewah di New York pada hari Jumat saat mereka memulai debutnya dengan mobil RB19 mereka – yang secara mengejutkan sangat mirip dengan tahun lalu – dan mengumumkan mesin besar berurusan dengan Ford untuk tahun 2026.
Verstappen memimpin pasukan Red Bull dengan memenangkan rekor 15 balapan dari 22 musim lalu, meskipun juara dunia dua kali itu mengharapkan kampanye yang lebih kompetitif setahun ke dalam revolusi aturan F1.
Orang Belanda, berbicara secara eksklusif kepada Sky Sports News di New Yorkmenyoroti mantan saingan Hamilton – yang berjuang dengan Mercedes pada 2022 – serta calon gelar yang lebih muda sebagai ancaman tahun ini.
“Dia telah menjadi salah satu pebalap terhebat yang pernah ada di olahraga ini, jadi pastinya jika dia memiliki mobil untuk melakukannya, dia dapat memperebutkan gelar lagi,” kata Verstappen dari Hamilton.

Dia menambahkan: “Tapi itu sama untuk George [Russell, Hamilton’s team-mate]. itu sama untuk Charles [Leclerc, Ferrari]itu sama untuk Lando [Norris, McLaren] – jika Anda memberi mereka mobil yang mampu memenangkan kejuaraan, mereka bisa.
“Tetapi ini juga tentang ketika Anda memiliki mobil kemudian tekanan datang, Anda tidak boleh melakukan kesalahan besar.
“Itu sedikit tekanan berbeda yang Anda miliki, tetapi saya yakin begitu orang-orang ini bermain seperti itu, semuanya mungkin, mereka semua memiliki bakat untuk melakukannya.”

Verstappen, yang tim Red Bull-nya mendapat penalti batas biaya tahun ini dengan penurunan waktu terowongan angin, juga menekankan bahwa kejuaraan ketiga berturut-turut bukanlah hal yang pasti.
“Anda selalu berusaha melakukannya, tetapi saya tidak tahu apakah kami akan cukup baik,” katanya kepada Craig Slater dari Sky Sports News.
“Tentu saja sebagai sebuah tim kami yakin, kami sangat termotivasi, kami keluar dari tahun yang sangat kuat dan kami bekerja keras untuk mencoba dan mencapainya.”
Verstappen mendukung aliansi raksasa Ford milik Red Bull
Ford telah secara resmi mengkonfirmasi kembalinya mereka ke Formula 1 pada tahun 2026 dengan mitra Red Bull
Peluncuran Red Bull juga melihat tim menjanjikan penggemar kesempatan untuk merancang livery mereka sendiri untuk balapan AS di Miami, Austin dan Las Vegas tahun ini, dan mengkonfirmasi kemitraan besar dengan Ford.
Red Bull Power Trains dan Ford, kembali ke F1 untuk pertama kalinya dalam dua dekade, akan bekerja sama merancang mesin Red Bull dan AlphaTauri untuk regulasi baru pada 2026.
Verstappen tidak asing dengan kesepakatan mesin di Red Bull – setelah melihat tim berjuang dengan Renault sebelum pindah ke Honda – dan mendukung penuh kesepakatan Ford.
Pembalap Red Bull Max Verstappen dan Sergio Perez mengatakan meningkatkan performa tahun lalu akan sulit, tetapi mereka harus terus berusaha untuk tetap di atas tahun ini
“Saya menandatangani kontrak dua kali tanpa benar-benar mengetahui sepenuhnya apa yang akan terjadi dalam hal mesin, dan orang mengatakan mungkin itu hal yang gila untuk dilakukan,” kata Verstappen, yang terikat dengan Red Bull setidaknya hingga akhir musim 2028.
“Saya percaya pada proyek dan saya percaya bahwa setiap orang yang terlibat akan membuat keputusan yang tepat untuk tim.
“Yang pertama mereka lakukan dengan Honda, saya pikir itu berhasil dengan sangat baik dan sekarang untuk masa depan ini adalah langkah selanjutnya – Ford pada 2026 – dan saya percaya itu.
“Jika kita semua mempercayainya, saya yakin kita bisa menciptakan sesuatu yang sangat keren.”
Musim peluncuran yang sibuk telah dimulai dan Anda dapat menonton pengungkapan livery Williams langsung di Sky Sports F1 pada hari Senin, 6 Februari. Juga langsung di Sky Sports F1 adalah pengujian pramusim (23-25 Februari) dan seluruh musim 2023.
