The four-time Formula One world champion said he was hoping to win a race before the end of this season as he returns to Sepang, where he won the last Malaysian GP in 2017.

"We are scoring quite a few podiums now, but I want to win -- that's what I'm here for and I'm getting close, but I want at least to win one race this year."

After a complicated start to the season, Max Verstappen regained a few colours with several podiums, but the quadruple world champion wants at least one victory this year.
