Max Verstappen declares father Jos "completely crazy" after seeing unique footage

Max Verstappen has called his father, Jos Verstappen, "completely crazy" after watching footage of his dad rallying.

Jos Verstappen recently shared a video of a rally he competed in on his social media, where it can be seen that the Dutchman takes off from the ground completely while behind the wheel.

His speed was measured along the side of the road, with the speedometer showing a whopping 170 mph, equivalent to about 270 kilometers per hour while airborne.

The notes are good, and we work well together. We have confidence, and it paid off here. I am very satisfied,” Verstappen said after the rally.
