With his pole position and victory in the last race of the season Max Verstappen ended a difficult year well. The Dutchman is going into the winter with a good feeling, but also knows that his win says nothing about next year.
Good feeling into the winter
"It's always good to go into the winter like this," says Verstappen to Motorsport.com about his win in Abu Dhabi. Especially because it was on a circuit where Mercedes was dominant last year. "Lewis drove quite far in front of me at that time and then of course you know that it is going to be quite a difficult story for the year after.”
However, Verstappen doesn’t want to cheer too soon after this weekend. "You always have to put it in the context of the season. Mercedes was very dominant.” Nevertheless, he is happy to end the season like this. "For the whole team it's a boost and motivation to go into the winter like this.”
