Max Verstappen is visibly enjoying the race weekend in Australia. The Dutchman is gearing up for the Grand Prix in Melbourne and expresses his expectations during the Driver Parade.
''It's fantastic to see,'' Verstappen said ahead of the Australian Grand Prix about the large number of fans who have turned up. "The crowd is always amazing, but what I also really enjoy is a full racing programme throughout the whole weekend. Now I hope that we can have a very exciting race."
Verstappen looks ahead to the race.
Verstappen could take his tenth win in a row, equalling his own record. Verstappen does not care much about records: "It could be another great number, but we'll just try to do the best we can. I think it's going to be quite a tough battle today, Ferrari seems very strong as well, we'll try to do the best we can."
When Verstappen was then asked to say something in his own language, he said: "It's been quite a difficult weekend so far, but a good qualifying. So I hope we have a strong race today as well."
