The Dutch driver also said he&#8217;s getting &#8220;tired&#8221; of the comments about him and his woes. Verstappen thinks that there&#8217;s a lot of overreaction about his current situation, although he recognized his start has not been great.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Everybody makes it so dramatic.\u00a0Of course, the beginning of the year so far, it hasn\u2019t been going that well and not in the way that I liked it. A few mistakes, I think especially Monaco and China.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;But it doesn\u2019t make sense to keep talking about it. I get really tired of it. It feels like there are no better questions out there than to keep asking me about what happened in the previous weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;So I\u2019m just focusing on what\u2019s ahead and I\u2019m confident that I can turn things around. The speed is there. I\u2019ve always been quick every single weekend. It would be much more of a problem if I would be really slow because that\u2019s a critical problem.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h1>&#8220;I will never\u00a0change my approach&#8221;<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Christian Horner<\/strong>, Red Bull Racing Team Principal, talked about Verstappen after his weekend in Monaco. Horner&#8217;s main theme was Verstappen&#8217;s approach.<em> &#8220;Max has an abundance of talent and had some harsh lessons this year. I think a modified approach will benefit him.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, Verstappen&#8217;s response to his &#8220;boss&#8221; wasn&#8217;t the one Horner expected. <em>&#8220;Well you know, I get really tired of all the comments about me that I should change my approach.\u00a0I will never do that.
