I think everyone in Formula 1 at the moment is interested in Max Verstappen. It could be Mercedes, who obviously have got a free seat with Lewis [Hamilton] going to Ferrari. Aston Martin as well is a possibility, but I think if Max goes somewhere, I guess he would go to Mercedes.

The reigning world champion is undoubtedly one of the hottest properties in F1. He has seen a massive rise in his stock as a racer driver since winning his maiden world championship and pretty much every outfit wants to have him on their team.

It is Verstappen’s one of the most favorite tracks on the 2024 calendar.

The temperature will probably be a little different. But for me, Suzuka is one of my favorite circuits. So of course, it's always nice to be there. Of course also, with the relationship we have with Honda and the Japanese fans, I always have a lot of fun being there.

The 26-year-old won the last year’s Japan event in a dominant fashion. He triumphed in the 53-lap event by a margin of 19 seconds over second place, Lando Norris. Verstappen will eye a similar outing during the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix. Fans will be out in huge numbers to support the prolific Dutchman.
