Verstappen on possible competition in Las Vegas
"In the last few races McLaren has been the quickest, but last year Ferrari was very very fast here. But again every year it can be a bit different with how cars perform. Other teams also brought a lot of upgrades compared to how they ran the car last year so it's a bit difficult to say at the moment," Verstappen told GPblog and other media.
It has not been a season of smooth sailing for the Dutch driver as the other teams have become more competitive. When asked about his experience of the course of the seaosn, he elaborated on the lessons learned. "Well a lot of things learned. You learn every year, you encounter a lot of different scenarios every single year that you don't expect, but they happen in life. I'm happy with how I've dealt with a lot of it," said the reigning world champion.
