Max Verstappen breathes motorsport. Thanks to his father Jos, also a former Formula 1 driver, the Dutchman got into racing at a very young age and can no longer be turned away. Yet he used to have other ambitions too, he explained on Red Bull Racings Instagram.

In court

You could hardly imagine it: Max Verstappen in a suit other than his racing suit. But when the two-time World Champion was still a child and at school, he also saw himself taking a different career path: "I wanted to maybe be like a lawyer.”

The Red Bull driver recognises how different that is from what he is doing now. Studying law alongside your racing career may not be an easy combination either. “It’s a lot of work though. When I properly looked into it I was like, maybe not,” Verstappen said with a laugh.

So tomorrow, at the start of the test days in Bahrain, we will see the Dutchman back in a racing suit rather than a toga, and most fans will probably be happy about that.
