Verstappen: “Beautiful livery, I don’t know how happy the mechanics will be given the time it will take to keep it clean”

The Dutchman ‘debuts’ with the number 3 Max Verstappen had been calling for a change of direction in terms of livery for years and on the occasion of the new technical cycle and the new partnership with Ford he was satisfied. The Dutchman will race for the first time with the number 3 as he can no longer show off the number 1. In the past, however, the 3 was occupied by Daniel Ricciardo while now it is a number that has remained free. “I love the new livery, it’s really beautiful and I think it will stand out on the track this year,” said Verstappen. “It has a more retro look, the color is really vibrant, I really like it. Seeing it in person was special and I was really impressed and surprised by how much it has changed. The overall look brings back so many great memories of when I started in F1 and everything was new. I’m excited to be driving a car with a completely different look. I’m not sure if the mechanics will be happy with how long we’ve been in it. will want to keep it clean.”
