The Verstappen family doesn’t fully rest as racing continues with success

Jos Verstappen clinched a podium finish at the ADAC Saarland-Pfalz Rally. The father of four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen came in third alongside co-driver Renaud Jamoul.

While Max enjoys the summer break in Formula 1, Jos was back in action this weekend, behind the wheel of his Škoda Fabia RS Rally2. The two-day ADAC Saarland-Pfalz Rally featured six timed stages, each run twice—four on Friday and the remaining eight on Saturday.

Verstappen started Saturday’s first four stages with three third-place finishes and one fourth. That left Max Verstappen’s father in fourth overall, the same position he had ended Friday in. Things changed on the ninth stage when Julius Tannert, who was second overall at the time, crashed and retired, promoting Jos to third place.

He held onto that spot despite losing a minute on the final stage of the day, which saw him finish fifteenth for that stage. The setback didn’t affect his overall position—Jos and co-driver Jamoul secured third place and claimed a podium finish.

Ricciardo suffers motorbiking accident, gets taken to the hospital

Daniel Ricciardo has suffered an injury while riding a motorbike in Australia, just days after making his first public appearance since making the decision to retire from Formula 1, according to rumours.

The eight-time Grand Prix winner is believed to have picked up a collarbone injury whilst motorbiking through the Daintree region in northern Queensland.

Ricciardo was taken to Mossman Hospital, part of the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service, for treatment.

While the exact details of the accident are still unclear, reports suggest the former Red Bull and Racing Bull driver's mood was good despite the accident.
