Red Bull gives Max wings

Published on 29 October 2014 by Stefan Meens

On Monday afternoon, Max Verstappen arrived, after a sixteen hour journey, in Austin ahead of his free practice 1 outing in American Grand Prix on Friday. In between his arrival at the capital of Texas and the free practice session, the Red Bull Junior has busy schedule lined up.

Tuesday featured some fun activities and Max would not be a Verstappen if he did not straightaway find a karting track. After a couple of heats, it was time for the next adventure, indoor skydiving, which proved Red Bull ‘gives you wings’. 

“The skydiving was a lot of fun, I would definitely recommend it”, said Max. “It wasn’t that difficult. I guess it’s all about finding and keeping your balance and it’s fun to float around.”

Back at the hotel, there was no more relaxing as the Dutchman hit the gym to prepare his body for the G-forces that await the Red Bull Junior when driving the Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 car.

On Wednesday, Max will hit the Circuit of the Americas for the first time during a grid walk with his race-engineer Xevi Pujolar.
