Max Verstappen answered some questions from fans at Sky Sports. The Red Bull Racing driver was asked, among other things, about which driver from the past he would have liked to compete against. The answer is somewhat surprising: not Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna, but his own father Jos Verstappen.

In the interview, the 24-year-old Dutchman discusses, among other things, the toughest circuit on the calendar and the lessons he learned from his father on his way to Formula One.
