Max Verstappen has revealed his plan for Saturday after it was announced that FP3 is cancelled and Qualifying is moved to Sunday. The Aston Martin Red Bull racer plans to hold a FIFA tournament. Perhaps they could use the results from this to determine the starting grid! 

“I will probably organize a FIFA tournament with a number of other drivers!" Verstappen said. "I am not worried about qualifying and the race on Sunday. It does not change my approach and we cannot change the weather. We will see what happens on Sunday."

Verstappen will hope that his pace improves and that he is competitive during the race. 

“It's only Friday of course, so it's hard to say where everyone is. In FP2 everyone pushed just a little bit more in case the qualifying does not take place on Sunday. We won't drive on Saturday, but that gives us the opportunity to spend a full day analyzing the data.”

It will be interesting to see who would win a FIFA tournament and if the same drivers who are fast on Sunday are competitive on the computer game!
