25 Year Old Max Verstappen Reveals Dream Partner as the 2X World Champion Gears up To Explore Racing Beyond F1

Formula 1 driver pairings are always very tricky to figure out. Racing drivers in general seldom get along very well. More so when you have two supremely talented drivers battling it out in equal machinery. That being said, the prospect of having Max Verstappen with another F1 champion as a teammate is tantalizing as ever.

Over a Grand Prix distance, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso are unbeatable on their day. But what if the duo paired up to challenge together for the crowing jewel of endurance racing? That’s right, we might just be able to witness a Verstappen-Alonso Le Mans collaboration!

Marca quoted Alonso saying, “I know that Max wants to do some Endurance one day and that he is attracted to racing at Le Mans. I am open to doing that together.” [translated via Google Translate]

And the Red Bull star doesn’t seem to mind this offer either. “If he does, he wants to go for the win with a competitive car and In that I am exactly the same.”

“It would be nice if we had a good chance to race together at Le Mans.”

Max Verstappen’s name will go down in the annals of Formula 1 history as one of its greatest drivers. But for the Dutch lion, he’s got good company in that respect. When asked about how he felt about Fernando Alonso, the reigning champion was full of praise.

In the Viaplay documentary, ‘Picture Perfect’ he said, “He can absolutely still accelerate. We are from different generations, he even drove against my father. You sometimes laugh at that. He is still extremely fanatical at that age to still be so into it. He is one of the best drivers ever.”
