In the last video, Max Verstappen and Alexander make for Red Bull Racing this season, they are asked how they think their season has gone. After Albon has read this question, he immediately throws the card away. Verstappen goes a lot deeper into it and, despite some disappointments, is predominantly positive.
"It was okay. We were on the podium a lot but won less than last year. You may wonder whether that's good or not, but you always have to watch how you develop as a driver and try to get better. I think I've improved every year so far and that's what you want as a driver".
"Of course, there are always times when you could have done better, but in general I am satisfied. I had nice races, nice podium finishes and an unexpected victory at Silverstone. That always makes it nice when you have unexpected moments," said Verstappen.

Then the question is asked whether the Covid-19 pandemic also had an impact on the track and on the Red Bull Racing team in particular. "I think it certainly hurt us at the beginning," says Verstappen. "We had to get things in order and if the races follow each other so quickly it's a bit unfortunate".
