After winning in Mexico, next up is the Grand Prix of Sao Paulo. Max Verstappen, who will be racing with a special helmet in Brazil, said: “It was amazing to get the win in Mexico and huge credit goes to the team. The last few weekends have been a lot more promising and I didn’t think I would be winning three races this year. This is a hugely positive step in the right direction as we head to the final few races.”

Max continued: “I always look forward to going to Brazil. It is a fantastic place and is obviously pretty special as my family in law are there. The track has been good to me in the past and we have had a lot of great drives and good memories, so I hope we can have another solid weekend. I’ll be wearing my special helmet in Brazil, with the design to be something nice for the fans and to show what a special place this is for me. It’s a cool track to drive and I’m excited to be back here.”
