Verstappen wants to provide spectacle: "Super that all the fans are here"

During a drivers parade before the Grand Prix the drivers are getting wet on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps. Despite the bad weather Max Verstappen is looking forward to the race and is proud of the fans who keep watching in the bad weather.

"Its better than last," said Verstappen at the drivers' parade when asked if he could hold pole position after the start. "It should be fine. We know today is going to be difficult with the weather but I am looking forward to it."

"It's a shame it's so wet, otherwise we would have seen more orange. We are going to try to make it an interesting and cool race. Super that all the fans are here, despite the weather. I hope we can have a nice day with a good result. Hopefully we can score a lot of points," concludes the Red Bull Racing driver.

Verstappen will have George Russell next to him on the front row of the grid and can expect an attack in the first few laps from Lewis Hamilton who will start third. Sergio Perez will start the race from P7.
