Max Verstappen unveils next move for his 'big passion'

The sim racing division of Verstappen's team is now rebranded to Verstappen Sim Racing, and will continue its current programme under that name.

Verstappen said about the change: "Sim Racing is a big passion of mine outside Formula 1, and Team Redline has been a big part of that. It is where I spend a lot of my time off track, and part of what I am building with Verstappen Racing.

CEO Atze Kerkhof added: "Building on the legacy of Team Redline, Verstappen Sim Racing represents the next step in an era where sim racing is a true breeding ground for real world talent. I’m excited about the future and look forward to continuing to grow and push this team forward."

Dom Duham, the founder of Team Redline concluded: "I’m proud to see everything Team Redline has built continue under Verstappen Sim Racing. After years of developing and guiding the team, this transition feels like a natural evolution, one that will continue to inspire and cultivate the next generation of racing talent."
