Max Verstappen has pinpointed where Red Bull needs to improve in the second half of the campaign if it wishes to enjoy a more successful period.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Milton Keynes-based squad is the only team inside the top four that hasn’t won a grand prix so far this year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The RB22 has offered challenges to Verstappen and his team-mate Isack Hadjar across the opening 11 rounds of the year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
While Verstappen has managed to bag five podiums so far, a win has evaded him while he battles with the balance and aerodynamic limitations of the car.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
When asked how he would sum up the first half of the season, Verstappen told media including RacingNews365: \u201cTough.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we need to try and be more solid, a bit more all-round, to have more straightforward weekends.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
With new technical regulations coming into play this year, the F1 teams are engaged in an upgrade war with a lot of time on the table to find.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Verstappen insisted Red Bull can’t take its foot off the pedal as the year enters its second half at the Dutch Grand Prix next month.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cPlus, we need to find more performance,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s as simple as that at the end of the day.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
