The Formula One drivers are preparing for the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend. However, Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda also have time for relaxation. Both men decided to take up the challenge to race backwards in DAF's at Zandvoort, as can be seen on Red Bull's YouTube channel.
Tsunoda's qualifying lap showed that the challenge is not easy. He drove the wrong way into the first corner and ended up crashing into the wall. Verstappen was able to keep his car in one piece and took the first starting position.
In the race Verstappen proved to be faster than his competitor. Tsunoda did everything he could to catch the reigning world champion, but he was unable to prevent Verstappen from taking his first victory of the week.
