โYouโre a natural mateโ talking to one of the best drivers to ever live ๐โค๏ธ
Max Verstappen teamed up with Mad Mike Whiddett and Red Bull to step completely outside his Formula 1 comfort zone and learn drifting in Mad Mikeโs 600-hp Mazda RX-7 โBADBUL.โ
Filmed at Red Bullโs Driftbrothers facility, the session started with doughnuts and figure-eights before Verstappen began attempting full drift entries and corner linking.
Whiddett coached him on throttle balance, counter-steering, and initiating slides using weight transfer rather than raw power.
Impressively, Verstappen picked it up almost instantly, using his trademark precision and control to hold long, smoky drifts within just a few laps.
The video quickly went viral, showing the worldโs top F1 driver mastering one of the hardest car control arts with ease.
