Max ahead of Spa: 'Definitely ready to get back in the car'

Max Verstappen is looking forward to the next Grand Prix, upcoming weekend in Spa-Francorchamps: “Belgium is another home race for me and it’s always great to see so many fans supporting us. It was good to have a break and spend some time away with family and friends before another busy period but I’m refreshed and looking forward to getting started, especially after we had such a great run of results before the break.”

“Spa is my favourite circuit on the calendar, so a great one to start the second half of the season with. There are a lot of long straights and it’s always a good challenge to find the best possible compromise for the straights and the corners. You don’t particularly run a lot of downforce at Spa but the fast corners are very impressive and a lot of fun. Pouhon was close to flat last year so it will be good to see what we can do there in the RB15. I also like that there aren’t too many slow speed corners and you can keep up the momentum all the way round the track. I’m definitely ready to get back in the car and looking forward to seeing how competitive the second half of the season can be for us.”
