Max Verstappen: Its time to see who has got what !

The 2021 F1 season kickstarts with the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend. Although the pre-season testing brought some new challenges for both the drivers and the teams, they are all set to prove their mettle on the Middle East’s dusty terrains. In that context, Max Verstappen, the key to Red bull’s campaign this season,  simply couldn’t resist his excitement before the big day.

The Dutch driver recently shared his emotions to his global fanbase via Instagram. The post, shared by RedBull racing, reads as :

“Now I have to deliver and the team has to deliver so we can try and mount a title fight. It’s time to see who has got what.” @MaxVerstappen1 on the #BahrainGP 🇧🇭”.

Regardless of how optimistic Verstappen is, Red Bull has to bring their best to confront the dominance of defending champion, Mercedes. The Germans will be looking to carry on with their excellent form from last season with their bonafide strategies recovering from a disappointing pre season test.

That said, Red Bull’s engine( powered by Honda) can certainly provide them an upper hand over all their rivals, including Mercedes. The main motive shall be to maintain the consistency.

Does Red bull really stand a chance against Mercedes in 2021?

There is a lot to debate and argue regarding Red bull’s chances in the 2021 F1 season. Still, it’s their new car and engine that give them an outright opportunity to topple their rivals. Considering its performance during the pre-season testing, the team can surely stay hopeful for a better season.

Red Bull won three of its four titles during the 2011-2013 period. Since then, the team’s performance has majorly gone southwards. Now, as they enter into the 2021 season with the fastest car on the circuit, they can surely think of giving Mercedes a good run for their money.

Moreover, with names like Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in their team fold, Red bull can stay positive with their efforts into the new season.
