Max Verstappen is keen to put the disappointing result of the Bahrain Grand Prix behind him. In a preview to the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, he says the disappointment was tough for the whole team, but Red Bull Racing has good papers in hand for the second race on the Formula One calendar.
"Last weekend was tough for all of us to deal with," Verstappen begins in a Red Bull Racing press release. After the race he was critical of his team, but he stresses that they are in it together. "We win and lose as a team and we will come back stronger this week," assures the reigning world champion.

"We have a good package," he says, something that was clearly evident in Bahrain. He also emphasizes that only one race has been driven and that they still have a whole season ahead of them.
Looking ahead to the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, the Red Bull driver notes that in 2021 the humidity was a big challenge. There was also a lot of talk about the Jeddah Corniche Circuit: some even labeled it as dangerous. As a result, a number of adjustments were made.
"They've made some small adjustments to the visibility in sector one, so I'm curious to see how it's going to be this time around," Verstappen continued. "It's a really quick track with high speed straights and this year the cars are slightly heavier so it's going to be really interesting to see how they will perform. I’m really looking forward to it, it should be enjoyable," concluded the world champion.
