Max Verstappen’s father, Jos, escaped unhurt from a serious rally crash in Belgium.
Both the father of four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen and his co-driver Jasper Vermeulen were able to walk away from the violent incident unscathed, the event confirmed on its social media channels.
“I think I went into the corner a bit too fast, and at the end of the corner, the car broke away. Then we hit a post. The post whipped the car around, and then we landed on the roof.
Verstappen’s future in F1 remains in the spotlight after the Red Bull driver admitted he could walk away from the championship at the end of the season due to his dissatisfaction with the 2026 rules.
During the enforced April break, F1 announced a raft of rule tweaks that will be implemented from this weekend’s race in Miami in an attempt to appease driver concerns.
It remains to be seen whether it will be enough to convince Verstappen to stick around for 2027 and beyond.
