The last weekend canceled weekend in Australia was a separate sensation for Max Verstappen. The Dutchman was preparing for the season opener, but just before the racing violence erupted, the Grand Prix was canceled due to the outbreak of the corona virus.
“We were very confident that we could start the season well,” Verstappen recalls the Ziggo Sport Twitter channel. ‘Then of course we traveled to Australia. We actually assumed that we were going to start. ”
Nothing started in the end. “Just before the Friday training sessions started, the news came out that the weekend was canceled. Of course it was a shame that you cannot start the season, but in the end I thought that was less important than what was going on in the world. “
Simulator as a solution
When the Dutchman returned to his home in Monaco, the lockdowns followed each other worldwide. “Yes, it is strange,” admits Verstappen. “Of course we try to make the best of it. I solved it by sitting on the simulator as much as possible and then hoping that you can be back in a car as soon as possible. ‘
