Speaking on the Sky Sports F1 Podcast, Red Bull’s Senior Power Unit Assembly Technician Calum Nicholas discusses what puts Max Verstappen on another level compared to past team drivers.

There might be no titles left to be won in Formula 1 2023 but there are still five race wins up for grabs, beginning with the United States Grand Prix this weekend.

Max Verstappen sealed the title last time out in Qatar, so attention turns to whether Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez can beat Lewis Hamilton to second place.

Pressure is increasing on Perez, who does have a contract to stay at Red Bull for 2024, after another disappointing weekend saw him retire from the Sprint and finish only 10th at the Qatar Grand Prix.

He holds a 30-point lead over Hamilton, who will be looking to bounce back from his collision with Mercedes team-mate George Russell.

Mercedes will bring a new floor to the car in Austin but are not expecting to make big strides in their bid to get close to Red Bull ahead of 2024.

Red Bull's Senior Power Unit Assembly Technician Calum Nicholas said he and his team will get their 'heads down' in order to beat McLaren's fastest ever F1 pit stop.
