In recent news, Red Bull spearhead Max Verstappen was seen indulging in a new hobby with fellow Grand Prix motorcycle road racer, and champion Marc Marquez. Twitter is split on their views of the event.

Even though the Dutchman was interested in riding the super speed bike, Red Bull, on the other hand, has been averse to the idea. They believe it was far too risky for Max to take the bike for a spin. With the new season dawning on the F1 teams, and Max performing his absolute best, Red Bull wasn’t open to risk injuring their golden boy.

As the videos of the two racers alongside Sergio Perez, who also had the opportunity to sit on the MotoGP bike, surfaced the internet, the internet went berserk with opinions and comments about what went down.

A lot of Marc Marquez and Verstappen fans were amused at this, whilst the others made jokes and shared laughs on the social media platform.

Max once revealed his desire to ride the MotoGP bike. In an interview from 2018, he said, “Red Bull is also a sponsor in MotoGP with Honda and KTM. I’d love to try one on a circuit, such as the Red Bull Ring. But no chance. They absolutely said no.”

Recently, Repsol Honda Team took to their Twitter to post pictures from the scene and Twitter participated with their opinions. Whilst many were excited to see their favorites in one frame, others question Verstappen’s skills to handle the machine.
