Max Verstapen criticizes front -wheel drive vehicles: “The worst thing ever”

Red Bull Racing has turned into Honda engines for the 2019 season when he ended a 12 -year partnership with Renault. Although Honda left Formula 1 after the 2021 championship, the 1.6-liter V-6 turbocharged operating this year is still using an engine developed in Honda. Over the years, the F1 Max Verstapen driver has appeared in various commercial ads promoting production cars, including CIVIC R.

But from 2026 until at least 2030, RBR will use a new joint group with Ford. F1 champion four times already starred in a loosely blocked advertisement of oval blue.

While CTR and GTI fans may be criminalized in his statement, at the end of the day, the whole thing is related to personal preferences. The Pitchforks team does not yet stand out. Ford itself is not alien to the front -wheel drive vehicles as well, although Eid days have ended, and focus focus only months of Retirement. If these cars are still present, it is easy to imagine that Verstapen is crushing either a hot opening with a large smile on his face in an official advertisement.
