Vettel: This year will be crucial for Max.

      Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel urges Max Verstappen and Red Bull to stick together despite the difficulties…

      Sebastian Vettel: "Difficulties bring us closer. They've been together for many years, someone leaves, someone comes, at the end of the year someone wins the title - that's the nature of Formula 1. But if difficulties arise, you need to stick together, then there is a chance to recoup.

      Max is an incredible talent, he has matured a lot over the last couple of years. Today he runs his races differently than before, he has become much smarter. The progress he has made is not in lap time, but in reliability and stability.

      He no longer rushes to attack, waiting for the right moment to come. He reads the race and the opportunities that open up to him better. If there are no such opportunities, he returns to aggression. He controls himself very well, which makes him the strongest at the moment. Max combines aggression and experience with natural speed. It's great to watch, obviously this year will be crucial for him."
