Verstappen aims to win 'every race' in 2020
Jun.16 - While Jean Alesi has sold a Ferrari F40 to finance his son Giuliano's Formula 2 career, Max Verstappen has bought one of the Italian marque's road cars.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Dutchman has ordered a Ferrari Monza SP2 for about EUR 1.6 million.
But the Dutchman is determined to beat Ferrari and Mercedes this year in his Red Bull.
"I will try to fight for victory in every race," Verstappen told RTL. "The whole team aims to win the championship.
"It will be a very busy calendar but I look forward to it starting after a very long break. I don't need summer holidays," the 22-year-old smiled.
He said even racing with no spectators in the grandstands at Red Bull's home race in Austria will not detract from his real goal: "In the end, it's about winning the race."
It is believed that Verstappen and his teammate Alexander Albon may get the chance to reacclimatise after the long break by testing a two-year-old Toro Rosso car at Imola next week.
Max also said he hopes Ferrari refugee Sebastian Vettel finds a new race seat for 2021.
"It would be a shame if he was no longer there," said Verstappen.

Verstappen"I will try to fight for victory in every race," Really ? What drivers will not ? Stupid quote.
Yes, the other drivers have no plan to win... Vercrashin at his best here. Ha ha!
When was the last time Max crashed???
His is the king of crashes. Getting better as his pubes grow in...
Odd time to be making such a purchase, even odder that it's a Ferrari.
Perhaps he's trying to mend some bridges?
Nah, he's 22 yrs old. He just wants a cool car. Not much chance that he can rebuild the bridge. BTW, he also has a Porsche, Renault and Aston-Martin. Equal opportunity conspicuous consumer. LOL
To finish first- first you need to finish.
Yea, you can't win the race on the first bend but you can lose the race on the first bend
I love Max, but he is driving for 2nd until Lewis retires.
LH, has the raw talent, the car and the team.
Quel gros lourd, ce type est un pilote extraordinaire mais un homme sans aucune classe !
