“Max Verstappen looked well-trained” last Friday at the NYC Red Bull Launch.
Formula One is not just about money and cars and crashes. The drivers need to devote their entire life to the sport. Proper training is what it takes to make the driver win. The last Formula One season was well dominated by the Red Bull champion driver, Max Verstappen. He got 15 wins and became a back-to-back world champion like the legends. And now, the driver is not leaving a single thing that can help him win another championship in 2023. The practice and workout regime that Verstappen is adopting is even visible on his face.
The hopes and expectations that Red Bull has with Max Verstappen are enormous! And the way Verstappen is preparing himself to meet all their expectations is appreciable. The training is noticeable through the look on his face. After the extraordinary 2022 season, Verstappen went off the cameras for two months. He spent the entire winter break detoxing, enjoying, and getting trained for the next step toward his success.
Why Is Max Verstappen Getting Into The Training Camp So Earlier?
However, when Max Verstappen appeared on camera for the first time after the off-season on 3rd February in New York, he was a different person in terms of looks. During the RB19 launch, not only the team’s partnership with Ford was in discussions, but also Max Verstappen’s face was in talks. One of the Dutch Formula One journalist named, Erik van Haren, suspected a slight change in the shape of Max’s body that emerged after his training camp.
When the media talked with the Dutchman. Instead of listening to what he was saying, fans looked at the fitness of the driver. The narrow structure of Vertappen’s face got more attention than the Red Bull car. De Telegraaf has discussed Max Verstapen’s visible fitness, revealing the story behind it. Van Haren shared his views on how the reigning world champion became ultra-fit. The journalist talked to fellow team members and said, “When I talked to people, quite a lot of them said that Max Verstappen looked well-trained on Friday in the picture.”
When Varen talked to the people of Max Verstappen’s training camp, he figured out that his training schedule had been adjusted before. Earlier, the training sessions used to begin in mid-January. But just as in 2023, the season is starting a bit earlier than in past years, and the training sessions also got an early start. There had been years when the Formula One season used to get a start during the end of March or in June or July because of the Corona.
However, in order to perform very well in the first race itself, Max Verstappen underwent a “little more condensed, more double training sessions with fewer recovery days.” Everything got adjusted slightly, as claimed by the Formula One journalist.
