😮🇯🇵 This guy just can’t take a break. Everyone is in Tokyo enjoying the city and the views, but he’s already back on the track racing.

Ahead of the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, Max Verstappen was spotted at Fuji Speedway piloting a Nissan Z NISMO GT500 in a striking Red Bull livery.

Despite torrential rain and a soaking wet track, he spent the day pushing the 550-horsepower beast to its limits for a promotional event.

This outing comes immediately after he competed at the Nürburgring, proving that his hunger for driving transcends the F1 calendar.

The GT500 is a serious piece of machinery with high downforce, making it the perfect “side quest” to keep his reflexes sharp before heading to Suzuka.

Seeing a Red Bull champion in a Nissan has certainly sparked conversation, especially given the brand’s historic rivalry with his team’s past partners.

Do you think Max’s obsession with driving different types of cars gives him an edge over drivers who only focus on F1?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
