While Max Verstappen travels the world over 24 times at least, to race in the F1 circuit, getting his fair share of traveling in, his duties as a driver don't leave him much time to do any proper sightseeing, and there are also a place in particular he would like to visit in the future.
In an interview with the Red Bull Racing website, he talked about where else he would like to go. "If we’re talking about a place to visit, I’d definitely go for Japan."
Verstappen would like to visit Tokyo. "Tokyo is a massive city full of cool places, and I'd make time to explore the whole country." While F1 visits Japan for the Japanese Grand Prix, held in Suzuka, traveling there for an F1 race does not leave the Dutchman much time to get to know it's landmarks and culture. However he has been able to taste some of Japan's cuisine, revealing the he thinks, "wagyu beef is delicious“.
That's not the only cuisine Verstappen likes, though, addint that, "I really enjoy Italian food, but it depends on my mood".
This is what Verstappen's doing in Monaco
For now, Monaco remains Verstappen's home, the placewhere he has been preparing himself for the upcoming F1 season. The four time world champion trains twice a day, six days a week, with his fitness regime including a mix of endurance and strength training.
