This is what Verstappen is hoping for especially during Australian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen starts the Australian Grand Prix from pole and is confident about the race. During the Drivers Parade, Verstappen discusses his chances for the GP.
Good start for Verstappen
On Saturday, Verstappen drove away the competition during qualifying. The Dutchman was over two-tenths faster than number two George Russell, and so the Red Bull driver starts from pole in Melbourne. On the Albert Park circuit, Max is therefore in a good position.
''We have a good race car, so I'm hoping for a 'clean' first race lap and then we should be in a good position,'' Verstappen revealed first in English. When asked to say something in his own language, he let it be known: ''Yes, so far an excellent weekend of course. Hopefully we have a nice race today, the car is fast, so hopefully, we can win here'', the Dutchman concludes.
