Verstappen is contracted with Red Bull until 2028, when the deal is set to expire giving him plenty of opportunities to continue breaking F1 records.

Max Verstappen responds to Kyle Larson claims

However, Verstappen was recently challenged by NASCAR champion Kyle Larson, who claimed he was a ‘better all-around driver’ than the 26-year-old.

"We should not have that debate because everyone is good in their own right,” Verstappen said in an interview with motorsport content creator Ash Vandelay.

“I wouldn't be good in dirt. Maybe if I practice...I don't know. I think at the end of the day, a good racing driver picks up things quite quickly.

“It all depends on what you grew up with as well. Like for me of course, probably go karting and F1 these things are more natural to me than racing on dirt."

Verstappen's father, Jos, also entered the world of rallying this year and won at the Hannuit Rally in March.

“I have no clue how to do that at the moment. But I’ve done a bit of rallying on open fields and stuff and I found that really fun," Verstappen added.

“Am I going to be really good at it? I don’t know, I thought the beginning was a good start. But there’s so much to learn and you need to learn off the best people in that division of racing.”
