Verstappen wants to enjoy final races, not chase a championship position

Max Verstappen wants to enjoy the rest of the season rather than worry about his championship position. After winning the Singapore Grand Prix, the Red Bull driver said he hoped to add more podiums and, if possible, further victories; finishing second, third or fourth would make no difference to him personally.

He linked that outlook to the car’s recent progress. Verstappen said it had felt more balanced since Baku and was more predictable and easier to drive, allowing him to compete further up front with fewer problems than at the beginning of the year. That improvement and the recent wins, he said, made the closing part of the season more enjoyable.

He did not predict victories at every remaining circuit. Asked whether the car could fight for wins at all the tracks still to come, Verstappen said he would assess the prospects one race at a time and wait to see how things went in Austin.
