Verstappen also wants to quickly make up for his disappointing result from last Sunday at Silverstone. He broke the floor of the car on a piece of loose carbon and could no longer drive at full speed. The result in the British Grand Prix was seventh place. “Silverstone was a tough race, but I’m already looking ahead and I’m always excited about racing in Austria. The atmosphere is great and the fans are fantastic,” said Verstappen, who knows that his Dutch fans travel in their thousands to the circuit in Spielberg.

The Austrian Grand Prix is ​​the second grand prix of this year with a sprint race. In it are next Saturday 8 points to be earned for the winner. Verstappen won the first sprint race in Imola earlier this season. He leads the championship 34 points ahead of teammate Sergio Pérez and 43 points ahead of Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc.
