Max Verstappen seems to have won the hearts of some of the youngest Formula 1 enthusiasts at the Japanese Grand Prix. The race, known for its passionate fans, especially those who support Red Bull due to their partnership with Honda, saw thousands of Japanese fans cheering Verstappen at the iconic Suzuka circuit. A video circulating online showed adorable children showing their support for the current world champion in an exciting way.
Every year at the Japanese Grand Prix, fans are seen wearing impressive and technologically advanced costumes to express their admiration for their favorite drivers. This tradition continued this year with the sport’s younger fans wearing miniature versions of Verstappen’s racing suit. The attention to detail in the scaled-down suits, including the precise replica of the current world champion’s helmet, was remarkable. The children even wore colorful and bright shoes, although they did not resemble Verstappen’s footwear. However, the children looked incredibly adorable in their miniature Red Bull suits before the race.
Red Bull and Verstappen were determined to make a strong comeback in Japan after a disappointing Australian Grand Prix. Verstappen had to retire from the race at Albert Park due to brake failure. However, the entire grid faced challenges during a rain-affected practice session at Suzuka, causing additional complications for Verstappen and Red Bull.
While the track conditions at Albert Park were not favorable for Red Bull, the team thrived in Japan, especially due to the high-speed corners of the Suzuka circuit. Verstappen expressed his confidence in the performance of the RB20 car on this track, suggesting that Red Bull could secure another dominant victory in Japan.
It is expected that the Japanese Grand Prix will have significantly cooler temperatures compared to previous races, posing a challenge for all teams. Red Bull and Max Verstappen will need to overcome these potential obstacles to secure a victory in Suzuka. Fans are looking forward to an exciting race on Sunday.
