Four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen🌟 says he takes his iPad to race tracks so he doesn’t miss any MotoGP action during his own race weeke♌nds.

The Dutchman won his fourth F1 world title in 2024 despite the competitivenessꦦ of his Red Bull slumping in the second half of the season.

At a recent Red Bull event at its Ha🧜ngar 7 in Austria, Verstappen and six-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez share꧒d an interview on Servus TV.

In it, Verstappen opene𓂃d up on his love for MotoGP and how he keeps up with a season while undertaking his own F1 commitments.

“I’m൩ a big MotoGP fan and I try to🎃 watch every race,” Verstappen said.

“I even take my iPad to the cir🌃🦋cuits so I don’t miss anything.”

Marquez and Verstappen have previously shared a common sponsor in Red Bull, 168澳洲5最👍新开奖结果:though the former confirmed last week that he would be parꦗting ways with the energy drinks giant for his factory Ducati switch.

The Italian manufacturer’s factory team is sponsored by Monster Energy, though Marquez will himself not become a brand ambassad🐠or.

As far as Verstap𒉰pen is concerned, Marquez is “the best on the grid”.

“Marc is a six-time MotoGP champion,” Verstappen added. “And althou🧔gh he will need some time to adapt to his new te🦹am, I am sure he will do very well.

“He is the best on the grid.”

Over the 𒉰years, 🍨numerous MotoGP riders have taken part in ride swaps with F1 teams.

Valentino Rossi took part in several tests of Ferrari and Mercedes F1 machinery, while Jorge Lorenzo drove a 𓂃Mercedes🍎 in 2016 as a gift from Monster Energy prior to him leaving Yamaha for Ducati.

🤪Marquez drove a Red Bull in 2018 in Spielberg along with then-Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa.

Verstappen is keen on the idea of trying a MotoGP bike, but admits 𝓀his F1 team may not be so comfortable with that.

“I w🌠ould love to try it, but I think 🐲it would be more sensible to start with a Moto2 or a Moto3 bike before trying a MotoGP,” he said.

“I would love to do it, but I understand the c♏oncerns of my team. For now, I will settle for enjoying it as a spectator.”
