Max about GP Japan: 'We could have a decent chance'

Max Verstappen looks ahead to the Japanese Grand Prix, upcoming weekend: “We have been successful in Japan in the past, so I’m really looking forward to going back and hopefully achieving a good result for Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. You never know how competitive you will be until you get out on track but our car has always been very good in the first sector and with a good strategy we could have a decent chance this weekend. My favourite corner is the fast Esses but it’s also the most difficult section of the track and you really have to focus on the car and getting the set-up right.”

Max continues: “I also like that the Japanese people are so passionate about Formula 1 because it has such a great history there. Suzuka circuit is one of my favourite tracks of the season and it’s always a great experience to see the fans. Let’s hope the typhoon stays away and we have a weekend to remember.”
