After joining Red Bull Racing last week, Max Verstappen is eager to drive the RB12 for the first time, next Friday in Barcelona.

“I’m very excited for the opportunity to drive for Red Bull Racing and I can’t wait to jump in the car in Barcelona. I have a lot of work to do ahead of the race, lots of data to study but luckily it’s a track I know well because we have driven there so much.”

Max says about Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya: “The main straight is quite a long one, so you need a good top speed. For me the best parts of the track are turn 3 and turn 9, as they are both high-speed ones. The last sector is also interesting, as it’s very technical and hard on tyres."

“The crowd is also one you always notice, with many Spanish fans showing their support and enjoying the racing!”, concludes the 18-year-old Dutchman.
