Max Verstappen: “This was my first time karting on ice and I had a lot of fun!"

Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen, and his teammate Pierre Gasly had this week an exiting day on an ice-track in The Netherlands as both Formula 1-drivers drove in two Kart Republic karts with spikes on ice to make an awesome promotionvideo!

"This was my first time karting on ice and I had a lot of fun!", said ‘Mad’ Max after his experience in a kart on ice! "It's been two years since I sat in a proper kart, it was really nice. I think at one point we were going over 100 km/h in sixth gear, so it was great! Ice racing in a kart was a new experience. And although I have had many special times in a kart, this was definitely one of the best days! I had a lot of fun today with Pierre and it was a great way to start the season together.”
