Max Verstappen, the four-time Formula 1 world champion, has revealed his recent experience behind the wheel of a Supercar. In a Red Bull Racing social media video, he dispelled any rumors of a switch to NASCAR or IndyCar, but expressed interest in a variety of racing endeavors.
Verstappen's enthusiasm for Supercars is evident, as he shared, 'I drove it last week, and it was a lot of fun. Maybe Bathurst.' This sentiment is not new, as he has previously interacted with Supercars machinery through Red Bull connections at Albert Park in 2017 and 2019. On the latter occasion, he even took a passenger lap with Jamie Whincup.
The timing of Triple Eight's move to Ford for 2026 is particularly intriguing, given Ford's recent involvement in Red Bull's F1 powertrain program. Ford Racing's season launch in the United States this week will showcase their Gen3 Mustang Supercar, a fitting connection to Verstappen's interest in Supercars.
This development raises the question: Could Verstappen's interest in Supercars lead to a future in the sport? The racing world eagerly awaits his next move, as the potential crossover between Formula 1 and Supercars continues to captivate fans and analysts alike.
