Verstappen: "You can even hear the fans from your cockpit"

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has some very fond memories of Brazil as he arguably had the most spectacular race of his career at Interlagos in 2016, and the Dutchman praised the local fans ahead of this years' edition.

Looking ahead to this year's Grand Prix, Verstappen has played down his team's chances of getting a result as the track shouldn't favour them, but as rain has been forecast for the race, don't be surprised if Verstappen can re-produce his heroics of two years ago.

"Anything can happen in the race," Verstappen hints to FormulaPassion.

Verstappen also took a moment to praise the Brazilian fans, which he claims he can hear from inside of his cockpit when he's on the grid.

"The fans are very loud and as the starting grid is very close to the stands, you can hear them yelling while you're in the car on the grid."
