Verstappen and Red Bull stormed both world championships this season but Vasseur expects Verstappen to &#8220;make more mistakes&#8221; in 2024 as Ferrari looks to pile on the pressure in the New Year.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrari were the only team other than Red Bull to win a race in 2023 when Carlos Sainz Jr shocked the grid with a stunning victory at the Singapore Grand Prix. Prior to that clash at the\u00a0Marina Bay Street Circuit Verstappen had won 10 races straight.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the win had little impact on the standings. Red Bull picked up the Constructors&#8217; Championship in the next race at Suzuka while Verstappen went on to win the Drivers&#8217; Championship in Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutchman also became the first driver in the history of the sport to break the coveted 500-point barrier before Red Bull smashed Mercedes&#8217; record for the most amount of points accumulated by a team in a single season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Max-Verstappen-Red-Bull-5099743.jpg?r=1701770603077\"><\/p>\n<p>The Silver Arrows came the closest to toppling Red Bull in second place but even they were a staggering 451 points adrift of the top spot.
