Max Verstappen not worried by Malaysian Grand Prix heat

Max Verstappen has suggested that he will not try to let the heat at Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix get to him.

The Dutchman was forced to retire from a points-scoring position at last week's Australian Grand Prix following a good performance on his Formula 1 debut.

Despite plenty of talk about the heat of Sepang, Verstappen has claimed that he will try to adjust to it.

He told reporters: "Many racers complain about the heat and look for ways to cool off but I feel that adapting to it is the key.

"I try not to let the heat get to me, even when I am melting in my race gear."

Verstappen became the youngest driver in F1 history when he started the Australian GP.
