Verstappen: 2021 the biggest chance for Red Bull to beat Mercedes

For Max Verstappn and the Red Bull team, the 2020 season could not have ended better. The young Dutchman led the final race in Abu Dhabi from the start and left Mercedes no chance. Although there is a lot of talk about the appearance of the silver arrows as to why they were slower on the track, Max sees this as a good sign that Mercedes can finally attack seriously in the 2021 season. However, the Dutchman also knows that Red Bull has often been fast at the end of the season in recent years and has never managed to transfer form to the new season. “We need to change that for next year,” so Max for colleagues from Ziggo Sport. This is how his father Jos sees it. The race in Abu Dhabi was otherwise boring for the fans, and he really liked his son's performance. “It’s nice to win the last race of the season, and it’s even nicer to win

BERGER on ALBON and PEREZ: Red Bull is loyal

Red Bull

Gerhard Berger was a guest on the show "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar-7" on Servus TV, talking about the just-concluded Formula 1 season. The Austrian was looking forward to Red Bull's victory in Abu Dhabi. "Max is an outstanding racer, he is always in the forefront and the race is at the highest level." Berger continues: "The key to winning the final race of the season was Saturday. Normally, with the special power of a Mercedes engine, it's almost impossible to win a pole position, but Max did it on the Yas Marina Circuit. And if you then take the lead in the race, then you don't drive in so-called dirty air, which makes it easier to control the race. And that's exactly what Max did. " Gerhard Berger said Red Bull were loyal to their own offspring, but acknowledged that the Verstappen-Perez racing alliance would be very strong.

After the race, when asked by reporters about the race itself and his future, he replied: "I think it was the best weekend of the season, at least as far as my show is concerned. I would like to thank everyone on the team for all the help. We didn't give up, we always looked new solutions that made me feel better in the car.

Red Bull

Alex Albon wasted a great opportunity in the last race of the Sakhir GP to be recommended by the Red Bull bosses for a new contract in the 2021 season. however, they landed behind him due to the catastrophe at the stops.

In 2019, Red Bull sent Pierre Gasly to the sister team in a similar situation. The Frenchman took the opportunity and has his refreshed Formula 1 career
