That Max Verstappen is such a versatile driver is proven again in a video from Red Bull Motorsports. In it, he takes on the challenge in a Super GT 500 car, aiming to get as close as possible to the time of Atsushi Miyake, one of the top drivers in the racing class, in treacherous conditions at Fuji Speedway. The four-time F1 champion not only goes close to the Japanese driver’s time, he smashes it. Host Jeremiah Burton doesn’t know what he’s experiencing. The impressive footage can be seen in the video above.
