Verstappen on why he ‘needs to be ahead constantly now’

Max Verstappen is intensifying his championship pursuit as the Sao Paulo Grand Prix approaches, aiming to further close the 36-point gap to leader Lando Norris. With three wins in the last five rounds, the Red Bull driver acknowledges the crucial need to be "constantly ahead" in the remaining four race weekends to challenge the McLaren duo. Verstappen, a four-time World Champion, remains focused but unstressed, stating, "If the car is good and fast enough to win, we'll do that." He is mindful of the unpredictable Interlagos weather, including potential showers, and McLaren's strong performance in wet conditions, but remains determined to give his utmost.
