Verstappen calls for "dutch invasion" at Hockenheim

Max Verstappen calls for his Dutch fans to make the trip across the border to Germany to give him support next weekend.

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has spoken about his excitement about racing in Germany next weekend.

The last Hockenheim Grand Prix was in 2016, Lewis Hamilton winning and a Red Bull 2-3 in Verstappen's team mate Daniel Ricciardo and the man himself.

Fans in the Netherlands are very passionate about the 20-year-old and have made mass turn outs in Great Britain, France, Belgium before, so Verstappen is hoping for the same again next weekend.

"The German Grand Prix is back on the calendar and I'm looking forward to it," Verstappen told the Red Bull website.

"I'm sure quite a few Dutch fans will also come over and visit the track to support me." 

Verstappen has been talking about the Hockenheimring and it seems as if the youngster has already marked down some overtaking opportunities.

"At the last German Grand Prix, we had a double podium, so that is of course a good memory," Verstappen reminisced. 

"Hockenheim is a historic track with some interesting corners, especially in the last sector where you can try different lines, so that's enjoyable.

"I'm looking forward to the whole weekend and to experience it again.

"Also, I think for Germany to have a Grand Prix is very important as there are so many motorsport fans living there. So I'm happy to be back."
