Max Verstappen has again received a lot of support during his race in Hungary. It is the first race since his crash two weeks ago in Great Britain. Verstappen gets the chance to end the first half of the season with a victory in Hungary.
During the parade of the drivers prior to the race, the Dutchman was also able to make jokes. In front of a grandstand full of Dutch fans he showed he was looking forward to today's race.
"We have incredible support here again today. I hope for a good race and I will give everything today. I just have to brake a bit later in the first corner."
Engine change at Verstappen
It seemed that he could just start with the engine from Silverstone. This turned out not to be the case after some tests on Saturday, so the Dutchman is already on his third engine. At the next change of engine, the Dutchman will get a grid penalty. Furthermore, the gearbox of the Dutchman has been replaced after his crash at Silverstone.
