The Red Bull F1 driver is on course for his third consecuti💙ve championship, and is building his own era of domination much like Lewis Hamilton’s and Mercedes’ before him.

He was asked by : “Red Bull and you, that fits. Coul♐d💞 you actually work in a more 'corporate' environment like at Mercedes?”

Verstappen an꧋swered: “It is indeed a very different environment. 

“It's always important to be yourself and keep telling it like it isꦑ. 

“Then it 💎doesn't matter to me where that is. 

“If a team really wants me in such a situati🔜on, they will also go for you and I think yo🐟u can also slightly adjust certain things. 

“Then you come together, so to speak. 

“At the🃏 moment, of course, this is not the case at all. 

“In the past I could never have imagined that I would achieve this ꦐsuccess. 

“I dreamed of reaching Formula 1 and ma🍌ybe one day driving for a top team. 

“This is what I've always worked for. If peopl𒐪e now start shouting that it's boring, so be it. 

“I also know the other side of the coin. I don't t🐎hink it's boring at a🍸ll."

Verstappen was asked if he “ever needed a kick up the ass” as motivation during th💞is period of dominance, with Red Bull winning every ꧂grand prix in 2023 so far.

"No, I don't think so,” he said. “We are also in a very good and nice rhythm as a team t🍌his seas🎃on. 

“Such a fast car only makes it easier to motivate myself every weekend. In fact, it always has been. In karting I also won a lot, but it was always very🔜 close together. 

“Then in the run-up to a race I rജeally couldn't think: we're going to pick one up again this weekend. A sm♛all mistake was crucial. 

“At that time, I sometimes💮 n🧔eeded a kick in the ass, though. Then, for example, I was not fully awake during a training session. But over the years I've learned how to do it better."
