Max: 'We will hopefully improve in Russia'

Max Verstappen looks forward to the Russian Grand Prix, this weekend in Sochi: “I was happy to be on the podium in Singapore and the team made some good strategy calls in the race, but I’m looking forward to Russia where there are more overtaking opportunities.”

Max continues: “The track layout isn’t that amazing for us but it’s unique as most of the corners are 90 degrees which we don’t usually experience and it’s always challenging to go from high speed straights into low speed corners and get the best out of the car under braking. It’s a pretty flat track and you can see quickly if the car is working well through the more challenging corners. Ferrari were very quick in Singapore and the straights in Sochi will suit them, but I have a few ideas about our performance last weekend that we’ll analyse and hopefully improve on in Russia.”
