Verstappen: "I think this weekend is going to be pretty crazy!"

Max Verstappen will once again continue his pursuit of Charles Leclerc in Miami. The reigning world champion is looking forward to the race and hopes the fans will have a good time.

Verstappen cannot yet pass his rival Leclerc this weekend, but will certainly go all out to get another step closer to the Ferrari driver. The Red Bull Racing driver seems excited in Red Bull's press statement about the race: "I think this weekend is going to be pretty crazy! I'm really looking forward to racing in Miami. I've driven the track on the simulator and we've prepared as best we can without having been on the track in real life."

The Dutchman also sounds enthusiastic about the growing popularity of F1 in the United States: "Step by step we are making it more popular. I think the fact that the cars can now follow each other better, that overtaking is easier and that more teams are fighting for victory is most important for the fans." Verstappen concludes, "I think not only the drivers are very excited, but the fans are too."
