Verstappen could be forgiven for being fed up with Mercedes racing clear of the competition at the first four races of 2020.
However, ahead of Sunday’s 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, he’s insisted he’s still in a “great position” that other drivers on the grid will envy.
“I’m not frustrated,” said Verstappen. “I just accepted the situation we are in, so I’m just trying of course to make the best of that. It’s also not a very frustrating position to be in. I think a lot of people would like to be in my car.
“We’re still fighting for podiums, so I don’t understand why people straight away think I’m super frustrated or anything. It’s still, I think, a great position to be in. Much better than driving in last, I can tell you that. We just keep pushing and keep trying of course to make it better, the overall pace of the car.”
Verstappen currently sits third in the World Drivers’ Championship standings, with 36 points between him and leader Hamilton.
