Max Verstappen has been working hard ahead of the new Formula One season
Red Bull racer Max Verstappen is ticking off all the boxes ahead of the 2020 Formula One season.
The Dutch racer has eight wins under his belt and was one of the most impressive from the previous campaign.
His Red Bull can’t always compete with the power of the Ferrari or Mercedes cars, but the 22-year-old put up some great performances last year.
The Dutch driver recently posted a video of him preparing for the 2020 Formula One season and had another update for his fans.
Verstappen was seen working with some weights earlier and in his latest Instagram story, the racer was visiting a doctor and getting his eyes tested.
The 22-year-old also put up a minor graphic on one side suggesting that he was given the all-clear for his race license ahead of the new Formula One season.
Verstappen looking to make a bigger impact?
Beating Mercedes on a regular basis has to be the target for the Honda-powered Red Bulls this year.
The Japanese engine makers made huge strides and closed the gap during the second half of the previous season, but they still are some way behind the power of Mercedes.
Verstappen won three races last year and finished a career-best third in the driver’s championship too.
He also had five other podium finishes and it will be interesting to see how the team does next year.
