Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen on Thursday said he had not been lucky this season but hoped for another one-two win for his team Red Bull at Sepang circuit.
Daniel Ricciardo had won the 2016 Malaysia Grand Prix race, held at Sepang circuit, ahead of teammate Verstappen, reports Efe news agency.
"It's not my year in terms of Sunday finishes, but in general you have to try to stay positive, and to look at the positives," Verstappen said at a press conference for the Malaysia GP scheduled for the weekend.
"I think the speed is there, so we need to try again here in Malaysia, and see how competitive we are. It's a bit difficult to say. But last year I think was pretty alright, and we'll just try again," he added.
The almost 20-year-old Verstappen is in the sixth spot of the 2017 drivers' standings, with 68 points in his pocket so far, six races to go.
"I think for next year, the team and I, we want to win, so that's our priority and we'll see what happens afterwards," he added.
