As the summer break of the 2021 Formula 1 is almost at an end, Max Verstappen and Red Bull seemed to be all prepared before the upcoming triple header. Moreover, the Dutchman is more excited to race on couples of tracks in front of the home fans. Knowing that the Dutchman has to make a good start since the beginning of the second half, home fans would want him to start since the first two races itself.
In addition, Red Bull Racing are set to come up with certain upgrades which haven’t been properly revealed. Yet that will give the Dutchman some confidence to start as one of the favorites on the track he has always looked forward to. Talking to Motorsport.com, Verstappen revealed his excitement for the two home races and also spoke upon his intentions to fetch good results.
What was Opinionated by Max Verstappen?
”Spa is my favourite circuit and of course a sort of home race, so I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of fans at a track I really enjoy. Then we head to Zandvoort for the first time in 36 years. A few years ago I never expected that track to be on the calendar”, says Verstappen.
Verstappen finds it difficult to estimate the proportions at this stage. ”I think it’s different at every circuit. We already knew from last year that we lacked power and overall had less grip. I think this year we have made big steps in both areas. Some tracks were good for us, on other tracks Mercedes was better. We’ve had a lot of good results, but we’ve also had some bad luck with the race in Baku and of course the last two races, where we lost a lot of points. So there is a lot to fight for.”
It was already announced on Wednesday that Red Bull Racing are likely to come up with updates as early as Belgium and Verstappen seems to confirm that. ”It’s close to each other. I think Mercedes had the advantage the last two races with their latest upgrades, but we know we have some things in the pipeline as well. I hope that will give us some lap time”, concludes the Dutchman.
