Max Verstappen, together with racing in Formula 1, has a hobby to keep him entertained over the summer break: sim racing.

When the Dutchman is not on track or in the paddock, he takes to the wheel of his simulator, also racing and competing for his own sim team, Team Redline.

In a recent stream, the Dutchman made Felipe Drugovich, Aston Martin's reserve driver, burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Drugovich was still streaming when Verstappen broke the silence with swearing in Portuguese, leading to Drugovich bursting into laughter. “You can't say that! The stream is still on, mate, you can't say that!”

Verstappen is enjoying his vacation

The Formula 1 summer break is in full swing, and Max Verstappen is thoroughly enjoying it. Kelly Piquet recently shared pictures of the two of them, where her brother, Nelson Piquet Jr., pulled a prank on Verstappen.

Verstappen was also seen with Toto Wolff, but GPblog quickly confirmed it was a friendly encounter.

After the summer break, the Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled. Verstappen will be hoping for a good result in Zandvoort; he is currently 97 points behind the leader of the world championship, Oscar Piastri.
