Max Verstappen put on, and then lost again, an astonishing 10 kilograms over the winter break. “All year round I feel like I’m under my normal weight,” Verstappen said, explaining that his usual winter weight gain in other years is about 5kg. The Red Bull driver, however, said he then has no problem losing the weight, joking: “I like to hurt myself a bit.”. Verstappen has also revealed that he will use a motorhome at the European grands prix this year. “It’s so I can stay focused during the race weekends,” he said. “But above all it’s about privacy,” said the back-to-back drivers’ champion.
