Verstappen is taking it one weekend at a time as he reflected on his performance at the Portuguese Grand Prix where he lost pole position after his best lap was deleted for going beyond track limits.
"This season is going to be long and we will be taking it one weekend at a time. And above all: we'll keep fighting until the end," Verstappen said.
"It was a bit of an odd weekend in terms of grip. I tried everything I could.
"Clearly we still have to improve and do better because we should be fastest on every single track and in every single condition - because the track is the same for everyone."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they were followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
