Max Verstappen will drive in Austria in front of many Dutch fans. The race is also Red Bull Racing's home race. The Dutchman says he is very happy with the 'home crowd' during the weekend.

Verstappen has led from start to finish and won the last two races in Austria. How that came about, he himself does not know exactly. "It's hard to say why, but to always have this support here is definitely special. You also need a good car for it and I am lucky to have that good car. I hope we can show that again today and celebrate again," Verstappen said on F1's parade lap interviews.

Second home race for Verstappen

"The start is important and then after that the general pace in the car will be important. Let's see what we can do," continued the Dutchman. Finally, the reigning world champion has a few words for the tens of thousands of Dutch people who traveled to the Red Bull Ring. "Super to see so much orange and hopefully we can make it a nice party today! Thank you very much."
