Max Verstappen crossed the line in fifth place in Barcelona after a tumultuous final phase, but was classified tenth due to a time penalty. Looking back, the Dutch Oracle Red Bull Racing driver says: “Barcelona was disappointing for us and, although we gave it everything, it was not the way we would have liked the race to turn out. We have had a bit of a break after the triple header: I have been to Hangar-7 to celebrate its reopening with the team and we are looking forward to Canada.”

Looking ahead to that race in Montreal this weekend, Max continues: “The track there is very unique, has some old school kerbs and there are plenty of opportunities for overtaking. The car set up will be important and it is always more of a challenge with the big breaking zones. Last year’s race was an exciting one: we were able to bring home the win and hopefully we can again bring a positive performance this week. The weather conditions are looking a bit better than last year so we will see what happens.”
