🎙️| Max Verstappen on driving for Ferrari one day:
“Ferrari is an incredible brand and every driver imagines himself driving for Ferrari, but that's also the mistake. It's not just about driving for Ferrari, but if you go there it's because you want to win. If I ever had to go there, I wouldn't go just to drive Ferrari, but because I see an opportunity to win."
“I believe you shouldn't let yourself be guided only by emotion and passion for a brand. You have to go there because you feel it's the right place to go. And who knows if it's the right place? We'll see... Next year the new regulations could revolutionize the entire grid..."
