The Red Bull driver was present in press conferences
“I replaced the simulator at home with a cheaper solution, a Nintendo Switch, I train by playing Mario Kart. I’m doing well on finding mushrooms, I have to work on the blue turtles instead“. Max Verstappen he tried to joke during the press conference to present the Chinese GP in which he underlined that he had no intention of leaving F1.
“I have no intention of leaving F1, but at the same time I hope that the situation improves, there are discussions with the FIA and FOM to improve these cars, hopefully as early as 2027 – added Verstappen – in the meantime I will try to participate in other competitions. I will be at the Nurburgring, I hope in the next few years to also participate in the 24 hours of Spa and I also hope in the 24 hours of Le Mans. I would call them positive distractions.”
“I don’t enjoy driving these F1sbut I like working with the team and all the staff of the new engine department – continued Verstappen – I can’t say bad words because the fine is heavy, I repeat that I have no intention of leaving, but I would like to have more fun behind the wheel in F1, yes.”
