Verstappen: '"When we accelerate, the water is going straight in"

Sergio Perez called the Grand Prix in America last week the toughest of his career. The reason? Because of a problem, the Mexican had no water to drink during the whole race. Well, during the race drinking water proves to be a hell of a job anyway.

Drinking is very difficult

Just in the run-up to the race in Austin, Max Verstappen was asked during a sponsor meeting how much he drinks during the race? "First of all, the water gets warm," explained Verstappen, seen in the latest episode of Behind the Charge. "We choose when we want to drink something through a pipe. After ten, fifteen laps, the water bottle is empty anyway."

Then a big smile appears on the Dutchman's face as he explains the dangers of drinking while driving. "When we accelerate, the water is going straight in. It (drinking) is very difficult. Sometimes you try to talk, you accelerate out of a corner and the water is coming in."
