Verstappen expects party at Silverstone after disappointment in Austria
- Ludo van Denderen
It was a weekend that ended with frustration for Max Verstappen. For a long time, the Red Bull Racing driver seemed to be on his way to victory in the Austrian Grand Prix, but after first a failed pit stop - which made his lead disappear - there was the clash with Norris. In the end, Verstappen had to settle for fifth place. At Silverstone, he wants revenge, the Dutchman revealed.
"It is another home race for the Team, so we want to make everyone at home back in the factory proud this weekend. Austria ended up not being the result that we were hoping for and there were a lot of things to take away from the race that myself and the Team can really analyse and work to improve on," Verstappen said.
"There were some mistakes in the race that really cost us, however, we have to look at the good moments that we had throughout the weekend, including winning the Sprint and being on pole twice," Verstappen continued.
Special livery for Red Bull Racing
With the final race in the triple header coming up, Verstappen wants revenge at Silverstone. "This will be a special race, with a new customised livery on the car. We want to come back stronger and are ready for the weekend in Silverstone, especially as it is the Team’s 20th year, which marks a celebration for us."
