Max Verstappen, the reigning F1 world champion, has been getting indulged in various kinds of off-track activities since the Canadian GP. He pulled off a sensational victory in Montreal and while the sport is currently at a halt with the Spanish GP quite a few days away, he has been spotted playing his go-to off-track sport, padel.

The 26-year-old has over the years, often been spotted having a great time putting in hours while playing the fast-paced sport. Padel requires a person to be on their toes, and this is one aspect that Max Verstappen really enjoys.

Last year, he was also seen playing a game of padel with his fellow F1 drivers, Lando Norris, George Russell, and Alex Albon. During that time, the video of the fantastic-four made quite some noise on the web all over the globe.

From the mentioned video, it can be seen that Verstappen is fully focused while playing Padel and is sweating it out under the scorching sun. All such activities are part of the Dutchman’s routine to stay fit and sharp ahead of the Grand Prix weekends.

Ex-team boss claims it’s ‘incomprehensible’ how Sergio Perez was retained by Red Bull

While Verstappen is putting in the effort despite winning six races in a possible nine this year, former Le Mans team boss, Frans Verschuur has mercilessly bashed Sergio Perez. According to him, the Mexican should not have been given a 2-year contract extension by Red Bull.

Perez has been making his trade with the Milton-Keynes-based team since 2021.

It's incomprehensible that this man has been given a two-year contract.

The ongoing campaign is nine rounds down and Sergio Perez has so far amassed only 107 points in the Drivers Championship. Max Verstappen is leading from the front and considering this, it is high time for the 34-year-old to start putting in solid performances from Barcelona onwards. Otherwise, he could come under more scrutiny in the upcoming months.
