Max Verstappen names his one dream F1 teammate – and it’s not a current driver…

-

Max Verstappen opted against naming a legend like Aryton Senna or Michael Schumacher when asked to name his one dream F1 teammate.

He steered clear of current or ex-Red Bull drivers like Sergio Perez or Daniel Ricciardo and certainly didn’t name rivals like Lewis Hamilton or George Russell.

“For me, personally? Dream team? If I could bring people back to their normal racing [age], it would be my dad,” Verstappen told Sky.

“For me, personally, that’s my dream team.”

“His career didn’t go to plan. It had a lot of potential. He knew what went wrong.”

Jos Verstappen drove in eight F1 seasons, across three spells, representing Benetton, Simtek, Footwork, Tyrrell, Stewart, Arrows, and Minardi.

In his debut year in 1994, he drove alongside Schumacher for Benetton.

Jos Verstappen has since become a big presence in the paddock as the driving force behind his son’s rise.

“He knew it was very important to have the right people around you, from a young age, to guide you in the right way. That’s what he did with me,” Max said.

“From what happened in his career, from what went wrong, he tried to prevent me having [the same].

“That’s why he prepared me in a very professional way from a  young age to be ready for certain scenarios.”

It’s an opportunity for him to do something different: Rahul Dravid on KL Rahul’s wicketkeeping duties in 1st Test vs South Africa

  With KL Rahul set to keep in the upcoming Boxing Day Test for India, his first full wicketkeeping assignment in the national side, coach Rahul Dravid put his weight behind the player saying it will be a new and exciting challenge. “It’s an exciting challenge and it’s an opportunity for him to certainly do something different. Obviously with Ishan (Kishan) not being available, the opportunity came up. We have a couple of keepers we can choose from. Rahul is certainly one. We have had this discussion with him and he’s very confident. He’s very keen on giving it a go,” Dravid said in a press conference on Sunday. “We do understand that it’s not probably something he has done as often. He’s been doing it regularly in 50-over cricket. So, that’s certainly tough to play 50 overs and then bat the full day. That can take a lot out of your body. He has prepared well. Over the last 5-6 months he has done a lot of keeping, even though it’s in the white ball format. But this will be a new an...

IND vs AUS 2023: Pat Cummins to immediately fly home due to serious family illness

Australia Test captain  Pat Cummins  will rush home from India mid-Test series due to a” serious family illness”, Cricket Australia has said in a statement. Cummins has taken three wickets this series at an average of 39.66. India won the Delhi Test by six wickets inside three days on Sunday. The hosts had won the first test in Nagpur by innings and 132 runs, also within three days. “I thought 260 was a decent score in the first innings. India batted well, even with just one or two partnerships. We were ahead of the game and slipped. So that’s disappointing for us. We need a review on what could have been done differently,” said Cummins, after the loss. “Pat Cummins has flown home for personal reasons due to a serious family illness,” the Cricket Australia statement confirmed. “He will return to India later this week to rejoin preparations for the third Test in Indore. We ask the media to respect his privacy,” read the statement. Given the second Test ended on Day 3,...

  Second seed  Tommy Paul  takes on unseeded Frenchman Gregoire Barrere as a place in the Eastbourne final beckons. World No. 17 Paul faced a tough outing against compatriot J.J. Wolf in an all-American quarterfinal. In a hard-fought clash featuring six breaks of serve, Paul took the first set for the loss of four games before Wolf reversed the scoreline in the second. An entertaining third set went the distance, where Paul burst into a 5-0 lead, which would prove decisive as he won his third quarterfinal of the season. An ecstatic Paul, who improved to 21-13 on the season, said after the win: “It was a tricky one. A lot of breaks back. In the third, I thought I played a really good tie-break in the end. I thought the level throughout the whole match was good, and I’m happy to get through.” Meanwhile, the 57th-ranked Barrere saw off eighth seed Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets in a contest that was anything but straight-forward for the Frenchman. The 29-y...
