Verstappen: “I think many of them would try to drown me”

With only a few weeks to go before the start of the new Formula 1 season, the Formula 1 world is currently dominated by team presentations and preparations for the 2021 season. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez have been previewing the up coming season for Red Bull.

Red Bull Racing's Talking Bull podcast features the drivers taking turns asking each other questions. The podcast is mainly about looking ahead to the new season, but the teammates also have a lot of laughs. In the latest edition Verstappen taught Perez a few Dutch words and they agreed to practice this in Amsterdam.

Verstappen doesn't trust all Formula 1 drivers

One of the less serious questions is about the driver Verstappen would choose to save his life, should he be in danger. "There's not many people I think you can depend on. I think a lot of them would try to drown me," Verstappen joked. “You can call me,” Perez replied. "I'll try to save you."

Good to know you can rely on your new teammate of course, but which other driver would Verstappen trust with his life? "Daniel Ricciardo for sure, but we would probably drown together while he tries to save me," the Dutchman added.
