Last weekend, the Las Vegas Grand Prix was held and the winner was Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen. However, before that, an interesting (Un)serious Race Series competition took place between the drivers of Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri. It is a race in the Nevada desert and the drivers were driving hovercrafts.

“It’s fun to be here, I think the hovercrafts look ‘cool’ and are fun to drive. They’re slower than I thought, but I guess that’s because they’re hovering above the ground. The challenges were interesting, as was the whole series this year. We’re different vehicles around the world and it’s beautiful,” said Verstappen.

It was above all great fun for the Formula 1 drivers. However, they were very competitive as they were on the tracks. Before the competition, they discussed strategies, and then tested their skills in driving a 26.5 hp, four-meter-long hovercraft.

“It’s my first time flying a hovercraft, I ate a lot of sand so I don’t need lunch today. It’s challenging to fly them, you have to think a lot when you fly them,” said Perez.

“I didn’t know how hovercrafts would behave. They are actually a lot of fun, there is drifting, but at the same time you have to precisely control the throttle to make the hovercraft turn quickly. If you press the throttle too much and touch the ground, you will stop. All in all, it was fun” , Tsunoda said.
