Exxonmobil And The Red Bull Racing Formula One Team Excite Fans With Live Max Verstappen Video-Chat

Speaking about the early stages of the new season, Max said: “The first few months of the season are always super busy for everyone. We as drivers have been training hard to get physically and mentally ready, the team has been flat out working to design the best chassis possible, and our Partners have been pushing the limits to help us reach our performance targets. It’s a team effort, that’s for sure.”

“The fans are just as much part of our family though, so it was great to be able to answer a few of their questions over FaceTime. I couldn’t believe how many callers were trying to get through – it was crazy! But it was a lot of fun and a new fast way for me to be able to speak with the fans.”

Commenting on the new era of Formula One which is seeing the cars lap between 3 and 5 seconds faster than in previous seasons, Max added: “Being fast is sewn into the fabric of Red Bull Racing and now with Mobil 1 and Esso on board as our supplier of fuel and lubricants, we have all the expertise and technology to help us become even faster. We’re really excited to show fans the new, faster era of Formula One. It should be a fun year and for me personally one that I hope will be filled with many positive results!”

Claudia from The Netherlands asked, “Who is your favourite Marvel film?” Max replied, “My favourite… My favourite I think… What is it again, Spiderman, Ironman.”


Harry from the UK asked, “What’s your biggest tip for an up and coming driver?” Max answered, “Work hard for it. It’s not always easy to keep your focus. Work hard on improving, always.”

On the upcoming Russian Grand Prix, Max said, “It’s all about striving for improvement and gaining performance race-to-race. So the car set-up, management of the tyres, aerodynamics, fuel, lubricants, balance – everything is being developed to allow us to improve and perform at the best level. Sochi wasn’t the best race for me last year, but I’m really looking forward to taking on the circuit with the new, faster package that we have this year – it should be a good weekend and one that I’m looking forward to.”
