Max Verstappen grew up around Formula 1. His father, Jos, was a Formula 1 driver, and Verstappen himself has become a four-time world champion. In a video from Red Bull , the Dutchman took on a challenge to answer questions ranging from easy to difficult.

Yuki Tsunoda posed ten questions to Verstappen, starting with ones that roughly 90 percent of F1 fans could answer correctly, up to the tenth question, which only about 1 percent would get right.

Verstappen beats F1 fans in Red Bull Racing quiz

Verstappen took on the challenge, and successfully. The first question was easy: ‘How many drivers are currently on the Formula 1 grid’. The Dutchman answered this question correctly.

He had more difficulty with question 3 when he was asked about the trio who most frequently stood on the podium together. He ultimately answered this question correctly: Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas, and Max Verstappen.

Eventually, with a few tips, Verstappen made it to the question that only 1 percent of Formula 1 fans would be able to answer.

This question was: ‘How long was the shortest Formula 1 career, in meters?’ After a few wrong answers, the Red Bull Racing driver guessed the answer: 800 meters.

Verstappen enjoys vacation

Verstappen is currently on vacation. After a trip to Portugal, the Dutchman arrived this week on the Italian island Sardinia.

Here, apart from the Red Bull Racing driver, a number of other drivers were present and even the Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff was there. Verstappen had even met the Austrian on a superyacht, but it was for friendly maintenance.

In Formula 1, Verstappen is currently in third place in the championship, 97 and 88 points behind the McLaren drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. George Russell sits in fourth place, fifteen points behind the Dutchman.
