Few people know that Max Verstappen is not only involved in Formula 1, but also has his own racing team, which has now signed a contract with Aston Martin.

“I have always dreamed of helping young drivers one day and I have been working for some time to create this opportunity for a simulator driver.

We will be working with a professional team in a championship that represents a very serious challenge. There is still a lot of work to do to get the best out of our cars and drivers, but our goal is clearly to fight at the forefront. We have an exciting year ahead of us!” said Max Verstappen, who certainly cannot be ruled out joining the unit one day.
