Verstappen appreciates Red Bull: 'Confirms that I'm with the right team'

Max Verstappen will be back in his car this weekend for the first time since his crash at Silverstone. The Dutchman had to go to hospital for tests after his crash in England, but was discharged the same evening.

Verstappen is, he told selected media including Verstappen.com, ready to get back in the car and fight for wins. "I even did a 24-hour sim race last weekend, so I've been doing a lot again. In terms of steering and braking it's the same and the lap times were still good."

According to the Dutchman, there was no way that he would not race. He felt, he says himself, so good the day after the crash that he probably would have crawled back behind the wheel immediately. If the crash had been on Saturday, we would have seen Verstappen back in the car on Sunday during the race, according to himself.

Red Bull's attempt to talk Hamilton into a major penalty with new evidence was not granted by the FIA, yet Verstappen is particularly pleased with his team's response.

With this feeling in mind, Verstappen will be out for sporting revenge this weekend. A win and a lead in both championships is of course the best remedy.
