Max Verstappen needed just 14 laps and 35 minutes to overtake 100 amateur drivers in an exhibition go-kart race at Silverstone.<\/b><\/p>\n
The four-time Formula 1 world champion had a maximum of 35 laps and 75 minutes to pass everyone on an adapted track at the grand prix circuit in Northamptonshire.<\/p>\n
Red Bull’s Verstappen, 28, was up to 37th by the end of a chaotic first lap in which many drivers crashed or span out, resulting in racing being briefly suspended.<\/p>\n
The ruthless Dutchman, who warned participants “it’s not a charity event” on race radio, moved into 10th by the start of lap six and was in fourth by lap 10, with each driver who he passed having to retire.<\/p>\n
At that stage, the field – made up of TV, sport and social media personalities, with no professional racing drivers – consisted of just Dutch F1 journalist Jacky Martens, Red Bull engine builder Lewis Osler and YouTuber Zac Alsop.<\/p>\n
All three were given an extra ‘fast lap’ where they could cut a corner of the track to try to hold off Verstappen for longer, but he inevitably reeled them in.<\/p>\n
Martens, who was on pole position after qualifying, was the final driver to be passed as Verstappen completed his challenge with 40 minutes and 21 laps to spare.<\/p>\n
Verstappen began his racing career as a junior in karting and won four consecutive F1 titles between 2021 and 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
