F1 Social Stint | Verstappen prepares for Spanish GP in Monaco

After the Miami Grand Prix, the drivers have two weeks before the whole circus is expected back in Spain. In the meantime, the drivers and teams are spending their time in their own way. What exactly they do between Grands Prix can be seen in GPblog's Social Stint.

Under the guise of 'when in Barcelona...' Max Verstappen has met up with FC Barcelona midfielder Sergio Roberto. Roberto travelled to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya to meet the world champion and handed him a personalised shirt, to which Verstappen gave him a signed Red Bull Racing shirt in return.

Max Verstappen has revealed on Instagram that he is preparing for the Spanish Grand Prix. The Dutchman can be seen in two photos doing various strength exercises and there is also a video in the post showing the Dutchman running in Monaco.

Before Max Verstappen travels to Spain for the Grand Prix this weekend, the Red Bull driver flew to the Netherlands. There he attended the christening of his two nephews Luka and Lio. Sister Victoria Verstappen gave birth to her second child at the end of last year. On Instagram she shares images of the service and the baby shower.

McLaren travels back in time in this video, in which the team makes an interesting discovery in its own archives in Woking. There, the British racing team found old seats of former McLaren drivers, including those of Sergio Perez, Fernando Alonso, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen and even Ayrton Senna.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem visited Ferrari's headquarters in Maranello on Thursday. There he visited the factory of the Italian Formula One team and held discussions with team boss Mattia Binotto, among others.

George Russell was asked a number of questions by the Mercedes team. The Briton had to choose between coffee and tea, but also between watching a film and simracing. One would expect an F1 driver to prefer the latter, but that is not the case.

Valtteri Bottas has stayed a little longer in America. In Aspen, a town in Colorado, the Alfa Romeo driver found himself in a beautiful spot. The Finn made the most of it by going into the water in an Adams costume, which he shares on his Instagram.
