Max: 'To win in Spa would be just as amazing as it was in Austria'

Max Verstappen looks forward to get racing again after the summer break, this weekend at his home Grand Prix at Spa-Franchorchamps: “Racing at Spa is always special. I was born just an hour down the road so it is pretty much a home race for me. You can see by the orange crowds and campsites full of Dutch caravans that the fans come out in force, this only adds to the home race feel.”

The Dutchman continues: “The track is set in the forest which makes it different to drive from other circuits. Eau Rouge is of course special but my favourite part is Pouhon, the fast lefts feel really nice. While at Spa you have to try the waffles and frites, they are a tradition and delicious. The win in Austria was amazing as it was Red Bull’s home race and there was a massive Dutch following. To win in Spa would be similar, orange and flags everywhere. I hope we can make them smile this year.”
