“It is going to be fast, it is going to be furious and they are going to go at it like hell. Let me assure you that,” Shastri began.

“Up until now it is a bulldozer on the track,” he continued.

“Watch out for this race. Max (Verstappen) has been brilliant. Watch out for Charles (Leclerc), watch out for Oscar (Piastri),” said the batsman par excellence.

“This place is going to be revved up for the next couple of hours. And if there is an upset here, it is going to be revved up even more,” the World Cup winner said.

“We’re all set and ready to go,” Shastri’s video concluded.
