“I tried to make a top, but I couldn't because the car got stuck in the snow. I got at least half of it. The important thing is that many people were present. It was fun,” he said.
With the thermometer running at -13°, Max Verstappen's display turned into a publicity ploy to promote the Formula 1 Grosser Preis Von Österreich – translating: the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix – set for the high temperatures of the month of July.
