Next up is the British Grand Prix, but first Max Verstappen quickly reflects on the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring. The Dutch Oracle Red Bull Racing driver said: “Austria was a great race for us and it felt good to be finally fighting for the win again. P2 was a solid result and we found good pace and it was nice to be battling on track as well. Now we are straight on to the next race of the double header. I love the track at Silverstone and it has a lot of history.”

Max added: “I think it will feel quite different and more challenging, especially with the energy deployment in this track. Because of the layout and the high-speed corners it could be a tougher race, but it looks like it will be warmer than expected so we will see. It is nice for the team to be closer to home and it is always a busy one with a lot of things happening in the week.”
