Max Verstappen is looking forward to the Austrian Grand Prix, the home race of Oracle Red Bull Racing, and says: “We are heading now back to European races and Austria is always a special home race for the team and there will be a lot happening this week. It is always great to feel the support from the grandstand at the Red Bull Ring and from the Orange Army. To mark this, I will be wearing my Orange Lion special helmet, which integrates orange and Red Bull blue and features the lion in the design. I will be wearing this and blue boots with orange accents in Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands.”

Max adds: “We want to keep the momentum going from Canada and we have been working hard to fine tune improvements. The circuit always a fun one to drive: it is a short lap but with good opportunities for overtaking. Hopefully we can have a strong qualifying and deliver a good performance.”
