The fact that Max Verstappen loves video games is no secret. The Dutchman is mainly into sim racing and runs his own sim racing team called Team Redline. In addition, the Dutchman is into football and regularly plays FIFA, which is now called EA FC. The three-time world champion seems to have discovered a new game to play in his time away from the stress of motor racing.
Formula 1 is currently on a four-week hiatus. The Singapore Grand Prix took place at the end of September, and the United States Grand Prix in Texas is not until the end of October. Now is the ultimate chance for drivers to rest and recuperate from their busy schedules.
Every driver does this in their own way. For Max Verstappen, this is through gaming. Together with his own sim racing team, Team Redline, the Dutchman regularly broadcasts himself playing games.
The 61-time race winner seems to have discovered a new game: Minecraft. Last weekend, therefore, the first livestream took place in which Verstappen played the popular game.
The footage shows the three-time world champion participating in one of the many mini-games the game has to offer. Verstappen even donned his own Red Bull Racing skin for it.
