Max Verstappen says Red Bull could win the Formula 1 constructors’ championship with one driver, provided the team gives him a fast car. He cited his 2023 season as evidence.

Verstappen won 19 of 22 races that year and scored 575 points, while Mercedes scored 409 as a team. Many people found the season boring, he said, but he loved it and “would love to experience that again.”

The constructors’ title remains a long way off for Red Bull in 2026, and the team is mainly fighting McLaren for third. The RB22 has become more competitive since the Baku updates, and Verstappen has won in Malaysia and Singapore. He says the car’s overall performance still needs to improve; recent victories do not automatically make Red Bull the best.
