Verstappen Seeks Red Bull Resurgence in Baku

Verstappen Wants Red Bull to “Regain Its Form” in Baku

12/09/2024

Following a tough race in Italy, Max Verstappen is determined to steer Red Bull back to dominance at the Baku Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen hopes for a breakthrough for Red Bull in Baku this weekend, after several difficult races. The three-time world champion had a complicated Italian Grand Prix and aims to bounce back in Azerbaijan.

“I returned to the factory with the team this week and worked on the simulator before the back-to-back races. The Monza race was tough and our priority is to regain our form,” Verstappen stated.

“We always want to be more competitive and the team has worked hard to address the issues we encountered with the car in recent races. We are now back on the tracks with this first race in Baku.”

“It’s always a good challenge to come here and it’s an interesting track to drive, being a street circuit with long straights, so we are ready to get back racing and see what the weekend holds.”

Pérez Sees Red Bull Heading “in the Right Direction”

Sergio Pérez is pleased with the work done since Italy to understand and address the issues, and he praises the team spirit in Milton Keynes: “We’ve had a good period of reflection and work since the last race at Monza.”

“Max and I have worked at the factory with the team to ensure we find a solution to the performance issues we’ve suffered with the car. To regain our place on the grid, it will take a team effort and you can see it every day in Milton Keynes and on the track.”

“This has brought us all together and we are confident that we are moving in the right direction. Baku is always a fun circuit, I personally love racing there, street circuits suit my style and I enjoy testing myself there.”

“It will be interesting for us to see how the RB20 reacts there, the tests will be particularly important for us and it will then be about putting into practice everything we have learned about the car over the past few weeks.”
