Red Bull is “too slow” in 2020 to think about more race wins or the world championship. “We have to be lucky to win, both in the dry and in the wet.”. Verstappen said that, as ever, Mercedes is again the big favourite in Germany. “If your car is that good, then it is also good in the rain, and that one is so good that as a driver I cannot make much difference with that,” said the 23-year-old. Verstappen denied that Nurburgring 2021 might be comparable to Interlagos 2016, when he managed to beat the dominant Mercedes cars. “At the time we had a pretty good car, but we lacked power,” he insisted.
