Speaking after his Abu Dhabi win, Verstappen said: "Was an incredible season, it was a bit emotional on the last lap. The last time sitting in the car which of course has given me a lot.
"Of course, very proud to win the final race, I have to say thanks to everyone at Red Bull it’s been an incredible year. It will be hard to do something similar, but we definitely enjoyed this year.
"It will be very hard to have another season like this, we know that, you always want to do better, but doing better is not always race wins and winning the championship.
"We are working hard for next year for a very competitive car. For sure all the other teams want to try and beat us next year, but we are ready for the battle and in the meantime we’re going to enjoy this year as well."
