Max Verstappen says Red Bull still wants to secure third in the constructors' championship. The team is fighting McLaren for that position, and a one-place swing in the standings can mean about $10 million in prize money. “That is the goal,” he told Dutch media, including RacingNews365.

Verstappen is also looking ahead to next year's car. The RB22 has improved lately and enabled him to win races, but he says there are still lessons Red Bull can apply to the new machine. He said the team is working on them.
