Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen launched his own racing team on Tuesday (12th April 2022), combining all of his real-world and virtual endeavors under one banner. The newly founded Verstappen.com Racing also brings Red Bull onboard as a founding sponsor.
The new Verstappen.com Racing logo features the Red Bull branding along with Verstappen.com, Max’s personal website which has Max Verstappen content, fan engagement and commercial activities surrounding the Oracle Red Bull Racing driver. There do not seem to be any direct ties to Oracle Red Bull Racing or its esports team Oracle Red Bull Racing Esports.
Former Formula 1 driver and Max’s father Jos Verstappen is set to compete in the Belgian Rally Championship. Thierry Vermeulen is a rookie in the ADAC GT Masters championship this year. Both drivers will race under the Verstappen.com Racing banner this season.
Virtually, the team will be represented by Team Redline, a long-established team that’s been succeeding at the highest levels in the sim racing sphere for more than 20 years. Max has been a member of the team for years, competing in competitions such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual and various other competitions on the iRacing service.
