Max Verstappen comments on 2023 F1 season after winning Abu Dhabi GP
Max Verstappen ended the 2023 season by winning the F1 Abu Dhabi GP. This was the last time he drove the RB19, which allowed him to make 2023 his most successful season in his career.
Speaking about the season in the post-race press conference, he said:
"Well, in general, the car has been better than last year and we were very solid in terms of no retirements, no real issues on the car which of course is also a big key to that. From my side, every single year I try to do better but I think better - it's more about just general experience in F1 and trying to put the weekend together a bit more."
Verstappen also mentioned how he tried not to make too many mistakes and focused on not damaging the car, which could have impacted Red Bull's finances.
He said:
"Some weekends work better than others. And then yeah, besides that, just try not to make too many mistakes. Try not to get too much damage on the car with the cost cap and stuff, these kinds of things which I think worked quite well."
The three-time world champion ended the season with 575 points in his pocket by winning 19 out of 24 races. He also broke many records by dominating the sport in 2023.
