Max Verstappen has arrived in Austin for the United States Grand Prix. The Dutch Oracle Red Bull Racing driver said: “To finally win in Singapore was a special moment and to get two race wins and a sprint race in a row with our own power unit is something to be celebrated and for the team to be proud of.”

Max added: “This track in Austin is very different to drive, but is always quite enjoyable despite it being quite bumpy. It has its long corners and elevation changes, so we need to make sure we hit the ground running with the set-up of the car. Austin is always a fun weekend and there is a lot to do in the city. We are going again into another triple header and our focus is on continuing this momentum, maximising our opportunities and getting as many points for the constructors’ championship as we can.”
