Max Verstappen has been busy during the Imola Grand Prix weekend, but the Dutchman is not finished yet! After winning the race and surviving a late challenge from Lando Norris, the Dutchman jokingly asked the Brit for a game of padel.

Norris and Verstappen are good friends

Verstappen won two races this weekend. He won the Imola Grand Prix and helped his team win a sim race. Verstappen completed two stints before racing for Red Bull in Imola. Norris also had a late night as he watched the Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia. The two rivals bantered about it during the press conference.
The two drivers have recently travelled home together in Verstappen's private jet, but it seems like the fun and games are not yet finished! Norris posted on Instagram about his second place, stating that he was very close and offered his congratulations to Verstappen once more.
Verstappen dived into the comments with another joke: "Padel time now." Padel is a popular game in the paddock, with many drivers taking part in the sport during their off-time.
