Formula 2 And Formula 3 'Doesn't Appeal' To Verstappen

Max Verstappen shared his plans with Verstappen.com Racing and explained why he prefers other series over Formula 2 or Formula 3.

Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen recently elaborated on the purpose and the mission of his venture outside of Formula 1 - Verstappen.com Racing.

The Dutchman revealed he wants to connect the two currently separate Worlds of Sim Racing and racing in real life by allowing sim racing drivers to transition to real series like GT3 and progress further in their careers.

The triple F1 World Champion explained the current most usual way to become a professional racing driver is through go-karts, but that is too expensive compared to sim racing which is much more affordable.
