Max Verstappen is looking forward to the Belgian Grand Prix, coming weekend at Spa-Francorchamps. The Dutch Oracle Red Bull Racing driver said: “It has been good to have a bit of a break, although Silverstone was a tough weekend. I have been back at the factory with the team last week on the sim.”

Max continued: “Looking to Spa, it is my favourite track on the calendar and is always good to be back. I think it could be trickier with the energy management limitations on the straights but we have historically done well here so you never know what will happen. I will be back wearing the special Orange Lion helmet which is a tribute to the fans, who are incredible here and have given me huge support over the years.”
