After a somewhat stiff Friday, Red Bull Racing 's Max Verstappen did go flying during the third free practice session of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix. The two-time world champion looks ahead to qualifying.

Speaking to Viaplay just before the start of the third free practice session, the Dutchman indicated that there might be a somewhat difficult day ahead in the rain. Whether it ends up raining, or not. Verstappen doesn't really care.

Verstappen is not worried about weather

Verstappen: "Yes, I never really find it a problem to drive in the rain. It has become a lot bumpier here than last year, though. So you do see a lot of puddles of water now. That makes it difficult to ride."

"Normally you want to change to an intermediate tyre as soon as possible," the driver continued. "When there is a lot of standing water, it is difficult. That was also the case last year. [...] It could be the same today. It doesn't matter to me; dry, rain. If it's wet things can go wrong quicker, but in the end we just have a fast car."
