F1 World Champion Max33Verstappen was watching the NASCAR race at Chicago, and admits he was 'literally screaming' while cheering on fellow redbull driver shanevg97 as he won on debut.
Race winner Shane van Gisbergen, Trackhouse Racing, Chevrolet Camaro"I stayed awake to watch it," said Verstappen during a Thursday media availability at Silverstone."And I've never felt so nervous in my life watching someone else race and trying to win it. So yeah, I was literally screaming in front of my monitor for him to win that.
"I mean that's really really impressive to jump in the car and you don't know ... they are very hard cars to drive. And he just goes in there and he absolutely dominates the race. So yeah, I know he's a great driver. I know what he's capable of. And I know how good he is in different kinds of disciplines. And he is great of course in V8s, that is what he knows, he's great in the rally car as well, and clearly he is great in a NASCAR as well. And I mean that Shane.
Asked if he is interested in ever giving NASCAR a go, Verstappen admitted that he's more likely to remain a spectator for the time being. "No! It's not my style, I think. I mean, I like watching it. I think it's really, really cool. And I was really happy for Shane, but I'm happy to maybe go there and just have a beer myself and enjoy the show."
