"I honestly thought it was over or that it would take a really long time to recover."
Word of Max Verstappen guest of the Red Bull Talking Bulls podcast on the difficult start to the season with Ferrari not missing a beat.
"At the beginning of the year it was not known how competitive our car would be and after two retirements in three races with 46 points of disadvantage, I believed that this year's championship was over."
For Verstappen, Red Bull cannot afford other zeros: "It is obviously a great satisfaction to see that we have reversed the situation, but as we did, our opponents can do it too. First of all, our goal must be not to retire anymore, already two zeros are too many in a championship ".
