Four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstapp♍en says he takes his iPad to race tracks so he doesn’t miss any MotoGP action during h💝is own race weekends.

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

A👍t a recent Red Bull event at its Hangar 7 in Austria, Verstappen and six-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquezꦡ shared an interview on Servus TV.

In it, Verstappen opened up on his l🅷ove for MotoGP and how he keeps up with a season while undertaking his own F1 commitments.

ꦫ“I’m a big MotoGP fan and I try to watch every race,” Verstappen 🏅said.

“I even take my iPad to the circuits so♊ I don’t miss anything.”

Marquez and Verstappen have previously shared a common sponsor in Red Bull, 🌊168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:tho𝓡ugh the former confirmed last week that he would be parting ways with the enಌergy drinks🍷 giant for his factory Ducati switch.

The Italian manufacturer’s factory team is sponsored by Monster Energy, tho✅ugh Marquez will himself not become a brand ambassador.

As far asﷺ Verstappen is🦩 concerned, Marquez is “the best on the grid”.

“Marc is a six-time MotoGP champion,” Verstappen added. “And although he will need some time to adapt t🔴o his new team, I am sure he will do very well.

“He is the best on the grid.”

O❀ver the years, numerous MotoGP riders have taken part in ride swaps with F1 teܫams.

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

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

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

“I would love to try it, bu🌜t 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 concerns of my team. For now, I wil༒l settle for🧸 enjoying it as a spectator.”
