This weekend the Brazilian Grand Prix is on the program. With a lead of 19 points over Lewis Hamilton in the championship Max Verstappen is in a good position. He is looking forward to the race weekend in Sao Paulo and feels no pressure.
"In general, I’m looking forward to it. It’s a nice place to be, great fans, great track. There aren’t many corners, but the corners that there are with all the elevation changes you have, they are really nice. Of course the last time we were here, good memories, so definitely looking forward to it", Verstappen tells in the Weekend Warm-up of F1.
The last time, in 2019, Verstappen won the race in Brazil. The Dutchman also set good results at the circuit in previous years. Like Mexico, this circuit is again seen as a real Red Bull circuit, although Verstappen thinks Mercedes will be fast here again.
No reason to feel pressure
With just four races to go, every point is important for the championship. Verstappen can only enjoy this season and feels no pressure. The Dutchman looks at it race by race.
"I’m just happy I have the chance to fight for the championship. We’ve had good pole positions and race wins, and I’m definitely enjoying the moment. There is no reason to feel pressure, because I love what I’m doing", the Red Bull driver finishes.
