Max Verstappen was all set to race in Australia. Red Bull Racing had a great preparation for the season and the whole team traveled to Melbourne in good spirits. Unfortunately, just before the start of the Friday training sessions, they were told that the Grand Prix had been canceled due to the corona virus.
In conversation with Ziggo Sport, Verstappen said: “We were confident that we could start the season well. After that, we of course traveled to Australia. We actually assumed that we would start. Just before the training sessions started on Friday, the news came that the weekend had been canceled. “
“It is annoying, of course, that the season could not start, but in the end I thought that that was less important than what happened in the world. Once we got home, we locked very quickly. It’s weird, you try make the best of it. I solved that by sitting in the simulator a lot. Of course I hope you can get back in a car as soon as possible “, Verstappen concludes.
Opening Zandvoort
