Max Verstappen knows how to steer a pot, but the Red Bull Racing driver always wanted to learn how to drift in a drift car. That is why the 25-year-old F1 driver was apprenticed to none other than New Zealand's 'Mad' Mike Whiddett. Verstappen has to get used to the clutch, but then he's loose! It produced these cool images.
Pretty hilarious to see that giant handbrake, it reminds me of a slotmachine, although in this case more of a slidemachine, pull it and see what happens. Mad Mike has the vibe of a pro wrestler compared to a more composed Max, haha, Max is like the lean K1 champion, while Mike with his tan and blonde braids is like a Ric Flair. Good job though, Mike seemed genuinely impressed.
When you are talented, you are just good at everything to do with driving. Max has never done drifting before and he learnt it in such a short time. Impressive!
