Max looks ahead to the Miami GP: 'The team has been pushing hard'

Published on 29 April 2026 by Coen Versteeg

Prior to the Miami Grand Prix, Max was allowed to drive at Silverstone due to a filming day. He tells: "It's really good to be back in the car after a bit of a break. Even though it’s a filming day it's nice to see everyone's faces. It's always nice to be back with the team and get used to the speeds again in the F1 car before heading to Miami, so in that sense it was a good day for me.”

Regarding the upcoming race weekend, he adds: “I know that we have had quite a long break but it's not really been a break because the team has been pushing hard trying to understand the things we can do better with the car. I'm very excited to see what we can do in Miami and hopefully we can be a bit closer to those top three teams."

During the Miami Grand Prix weekend, Max will be wearing a special helmet. Scale model helmets - 1:2 and 1:4 - are now available via https://store.verstappen.com
