Max Verstappen is expecting a raucous and carnival-like atmosphere at the Miami Grand Prix. F1 will head to the American southeastern city for the first time this weekend and it marks the first of two races stateside this year before a trip to Austin in October.
The buzz and excitement for the race is palpable, with a great turnout expected in addition to special guest celebrity appearances. The drivers are very excited, especially Verstappen, who is looking to win his second successive race and apply more pressure on Charles Leclerc at the top of the drivers standings.
"I think this weekend is going to be pretty crazy! I'm looking forward to racing in Miami, I've driven the track on the simulator and we've practiced and prepared as much as we can without visiting the track in real life," the Red Bull driver said ahead of Sunday's race. "I love racing in Austin, so it's fun that we get to go to another state and race this year. It's exciting to see Formula 1 getting much bigger in the US.
