Max Verstappen Helping Red Bull\’s New Recruit To Keep Lewis Hamilton At Bay

When it comes to driving, like the 24-year-old, Van Buren is very skilled. Verstappen hasn\’t been entirely content with the RB18 despite his success. It is anticipated that his acquaintance will be able to assist in aligning the design with his strong points. The sim racer is eager to begin working with Red Bull and views it as significant career advancement. As last year\’s Williams driver Alexander Albon\’s primary location, he will be typically focused at their Milton Keynes facility.
