Max Verstappen is looking forward to the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring. The Dutch Oracle Red Bull Racing driver says: “Austria is of course a home Grand Prix for the team. It’s been a great track for me in the past and we have had really good memories there. It’s a very interesting track and all of the corners are quite different, so it’s really important to get a good balance out of the car. You need both the high speed and low speed performance, good traction and now, with how energy sensitive some tracks are, it is important to work to get on top of this.”

Max adds: “We have a new package we are bringing, so it is exciting to see how much this could look to give us in lap time. I will also be wearing my Orange Lion helmet for Austria, Belgium and Hungary as a tribute to the fans who have supported me throughout my career. So this is exciting and we are looking forward to see what we can do at the Red Bull Ring.”
