I probably need to wear something else and try to go around a little bit to have a bit of fun. I'll dress up as Adrian and walk around to see how it goes.

It’s always great to see nice cars, Of course, I’d prefer to have a weekend off but I couldn’t get out of this. So, we’re going to make the best of it.

Max Verstappen told Viaplay (H&T: themirror.co.uk).

The Dutchman has to focus on his performances in Formula 1 amidst Red Bull’s struggling pace. The team has managed to stay in the lead despite failing performances. Hence, Verstappen will have to continue working hard to extend the lead over the rivals.
