Red Bull will begin their extended three-week shutdown on March 27, but Verstappen is not worried about the break. "But since Australia people have been working hard on the development

of the new car," Verstappen said. "It is difficult to say how much time we can save with that. "It also depends on how many new things you find. But I hope, of course, that we

find a lot of [time]." Along with the Australian Grand Prix, meets in China and Monaco have been taken off the 2020 schedule entirely. Verstappen's home race in Holland is

postponed for now, along with those in Bahrain, Vietnam and Spain.
