It’s not often Max Verstappen is the passenger – but in this case during a Silverstone hot lap, he was!
Callum Nicholas, a former Red Bull team mechanic and current Red Bull ambassador, recently shared a humorous anecdote about a hot lap experience with Max Verstappen. During his time as a Red Bull mechanic, Nicholas was part of the team that won multiple world championships. He has since written a book and taken on the role of ambassador for Red Bull. The amusing story took place during a pre-season filming day at Silverstone, where Nicholas offered his Audi RS6 for Verstappen and his race engineer to familiarize themselves with the track. Despite the pressure of having both Verstappen urging to go faster and the engineer cautioning to slow down, Nicholas managed to navigate the lap safely, sparing any potential accidents before the season began.
