Max Verstappen made a lighthearted comment about Yuki Tsunoda potentially being his ideal partner for the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans due to Tsunoda’s weight. Verstappen, a three-time world champion, expressed his interest in participating in Le Mans in the future. In a playful manner, Verstappen suggested that Tsunoda’s lighter weight could give them an advantage in the race. The two drivers could potentially form a strong team for the event, although they would need another driver to complete their lineup.
Verstappen had previously mentioned that his weight was a limiting factor in his ability to compete in Le Mans. However, he recently revealed that he was not a fan of the Balance of Performance measures implemented to ensure fairness and competitiveness among all cars during the race.
Since 2022, Max Verstappen has been dominant in Formula 1 during the era of ground effect. As the current season progresses, Verstappen has faced challenges and lost three races. Other teams, such as Ferrari and McLaren, have reached the level of performance of Red Bull, resulting in a more competitive grid.
Former W Series driver, Schiff, emphasized the importance of each race for Verstappen and his rivals in the battle for the world championship. The Spanish Grand Prix is expected to provide a clearer understanding of the ranking order among the top teams.
Max Verstappen’s journey towards the 2024 world title has not been without obstacles. However, the determined Dutch driver has returned to the Red Bull F1 simulator in his quest to regain dominance in the sport. Only time will tell if Verstappen can overcome his rivals in the upcoming races.
