Max Verstappen is back in the preparations for the new Formula 1 season. The Dutchman has undoubtedly been in the simulator several times already, but he has now also had his first real number of kilometers. He did so last weekend in Portugal.
On the Estoril circuit that had been rented by Verstappen, the Red Bull Racing driver drove his laps in a Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport, a car specifically designed to drive on circuits. The car, which boasts a neat 700 hp with a 3.8-liter twin turbo six-cylinder, is owned by the Dutch GP Elite team.
