2021 will be the last season Red Bull Racing will use a Honda engine. What seemed like a strong collaboration with a lot to come will come to an end. In their final year, Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon, hope that the Japanese manufacturer delivers their best work.
Improvement needed at Honda
At the online press event on the Thursday prior to the Sakhir GP, the Red Bull Racing drivers were asked where the Honda power source still lacks. Is the shortage on the mechanical side or on the hybrid part of the power source?
Alexander Albon started by saying: "To be honest, it's a bit of both. We're actually just short on the straights. That needs to be improved. Hopefully we can have a good last season with them."
Max Verstappen agreed with his colleague: "The engine is never good enough, the chassis is never good enough and how you drive is never enough. You have to improve every year and you just have to be better every race weekend. That's what we're trying to do.
"Nothing is perfect," concluded Verstappen.
