Zayn Sofuoglu🦂, the son of multiple World Supersport Champion Kena🤡n Sofuoglu, is in Qatar this weekend and was taken into the Red Bull garage by Max Verstappen.

The two were shown on Sky Italia’s coverage of this weekend’s Qata🎀r Grand Prix, with Verstappen walki𝐆ng with the young Sofuoglu through the paddock, before they went together into the Red Bull garage.

Sofuoglu recently became the fastest five-year-old in the world when he drove a Lamborghini at 194mph, before winning a mini-s🗹upermoto championship in Turkiye in October.

The young Turkish star has amassed a colossal following on sociaꦫl media, with (at time of writing) 4.1 million followers on Instagram, most of whom have been gained thanks to his automotive exploits which have included driving a Ferrari around a kart track at the ageꦛ of three, and even taking a Scania HGV for a spin.

Even Verstappen, who made his F1 debut in practice at the 2014 Japanese Grand Pri✨x at the age of 16, can’t claim to have garnered the interest Sofuoglu has at such a young age.

The Dutchman, though, arrives in Qatar this weekend one week on from clinching his fourth successive F1 title at last weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix with a f෴ifth-place finish.

The Red Bull driver finished 11th in this afteꦇrnoon’s FP1 session, which was topped by Charles Leclerc.

The Monsegasque’s Ferrari team is 29 currently points a🐎head of Red Bull andಌ 24 points behind McLaren in the Constructors’ Championship, with just this weekend’s race in Lusail — a Sprint weekend — and next weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix remaining.
