Despite Max Verstappen being busy with Formula 1, he wants to increase his involvement in other racing areas. The Dutch driver already has four world titles, but that isn't stopping him from getting more involved.
With 24 races, the 2024 season was the longest F1 season ever. The 2025 season is scheduled to be just as long, and while Verstappen may be busy, he has other things planned besides his F1 career.
Verstappen wants even more racing in the future.
Verstappen is already involved with multiple areas of racing through Verstappen.com. He has Team Redline, where he sim races. In a conversation with Sportskeeda, he said, "I don't want to rush getting it going either. It has to have a value. A good start. Hopefully, we can already see more from next year."
Verstappen plans to focus on two things; racing and his family. "If I can't do anything with racing, I will probably just enjoy my life with family and friends and spend time with them. Of course, you always have businesses next to it, investments running, but besides that, you should just enjoy your life," Verstappen said.
Verstappen is set to welcome his first child with girlfriend Kelly Piquet within the next three months, as Piquet let slip that she was entering her third trimester. While this will be his first biological child, he said he is like a "bonus dad' to Piquet's daughter, Penelope.
