MAX VERSTAPPEN’s bid to defend his F1 crown is being boosted by British racer Jake Dennis. The 26-year-old from Nuneaton is Red Bull’s development driver and he also races in Formula E for the Andretti team. Dennis is a versatile driver and spends HOURS in Red Bull’s simulator to help fine-tune Verstappen’s race car. Dennis, who will race in the Rome ePrix on 9 and 10 April, says he enjoys balancing his own racing commitments with working for Red Bull. Dennis’ simulator work runs alongside Red Bull’s on-track work, only back at their UK base. “There are some days where I will be in the simulator from 9am until 6pm and other days where I am offering race support.”.
