F1, Max Verstappen has one more certainty

He finished seventh at Silverstone

He won there four times, none like him. 2018, 2019 and then the two 2021 races between Styria and Austria. Max Verstappen arrives at the Red Bull Ring confident he can aim for the top again.

The Dutchman finished seventh at Silverstone after an unlucky race, but now there is a friendly track: “Now comes Austria, a very nice weekend for me and then it’s the home GP for the team,” said Verstappen in the Thursday press conference. “We have always done well here and I like the circuit very much.

The world leader then returned to the problem he had in the last GP: “The debris I hit was big. Part of the wing got stuck on the bottom and the car was unrideable, I was losing two seconds a lap,” he added. The car felt out of place and far from normal conditions.
