Verstappen gives cheeky answer to best F1 driver: ex-City star or Big Zuu

The Red Bull Racing driver, who made an appearance on the SKY Max TV programme A League of Their Own (ALOTO), was posed the question by Richards. Verstappen opted for a cheeky, diplomatic response.

The four-time world champion, rather than giving a direct answer, chose a playful approach. He first stated he would try his best to drive both men around the race track before adding his witty remark to the question posed to him:

“I'll try my best. I'm going to drive you around,” he said.

“In F1 also, you know, when you're normally a bit lighter, we might have some good grip in the corners,” he added.

The ALTOA show is a British sports-comedy panel programme hosted by Romesh Ranganathan, featuring several panellists, including Richards and former Tottenham player Jamie Redknapp, among other guest stars.

Earlier, Verstappen finally confirmed he would be racing with the number 3 from the 2026 F1 season.

The Red Bull Racing driver, who missed out on a fifth consecutive Drivers’ Championship, is forced to relinquish the number 1 he had become synonymous with.

However, Verstappen recently explained why he opted to switch to number 3, moving away from the 33 he used during the earlier stages of his career.
