This is something Verstappen would never do: 'Would watch, but absolutely not race'

Speaking to GPBlog and others in Baku ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Max Verstappen talks about other racing series. The leader in the 2023 F1 championship has a big preference and rules out another branch of racing.

Together with Jos Verstappen

The Red Bull Racing driver did reveal earlier that he has a passion for long-distance racing. He currently already does a lot of that behind the simulator, where, as part of Team RedLine, he also engages in it professionally. The Dutchman would also like to go into real endurance racing. Preferably with father Jos.

Verstappen: "Endurance. Yes, I love it. Eventually. I keep telling him [Jos], I mean time is ticking, he's getting older but even if it's not with my dad, we'll see. I also have the passion of maybe setting up my own team, so there are a lot of things I would like to do outside of just driving myself."

No Triple Crown for Verstappen

We will not see Verstappen win the famous Triple Crown. The Dutchman did win the Monaco Grand Prix in 2021, and given his passion for endurance racing, the 24 Hours of Le Mans could be added. But the Dutchman rules out the Indy500.

Verstappen: "I like watching IndyCar, I think there are a lot of great drivers and there are also people I race against so I have a good connection with them. I like seeing them do well but me driving an Indy 500, absolutely not. I might go there and watch but not race."
