WATCH - Verstappen goes for a spin in Palermo ahead of Italian GP

Max Verstappen has prepared for the "beautiful chaos" of the Italian Grand Prix by taking the title-winning Red Bull RB7 for a trip around the Sicilian capital, Palermo.

Verstappen has won both races since Formula 1 returned from its summer shutdown, a feat that has returned the Dutchman to the top of the drivers' standings.

Ahead of the Italian GP weekend, Red Bull took in the Sicilian sights with the 18,000rpm V8 engine providing a breathtaking soundtrack to match the view.

Check out the video to see how Verstappen enjoys his downtime!
