I would like to try oneday and I'm still not allowed to do it. Marc Marquez interrupted and questioned him - Why?

How many World Championship together? 🏆 pic.twitter.com/PkHzyDAvi8
Max Verstappen answered, “The team doesn't allow me to do it." Marquez again said, “But now you have time.” To which Max replied, “Ya, I can break I like.” Marc laughs and suggests Max can ride in easy mode if he wishes. Max Verstappen says he has some fear of doing corners if he tries more he could lose ground. The Dutchman also appreciated how strong the MotoGP riders are at the whole body level. The most important thing Max Verstappen likes in MotoGP is that many new manufacturers can win the race unlike in F1 which he feels very great for a sport.
Top speeds, mind-blowing lean angles and so much more 🤯

We put @marcmarquez93 and @Max33Verstappen's knowledge of each other's sports to the test and, unsurprisingly, they both tackled it brilliantly! 💡#MotoGP @F1 pic.twitter.com/prfRV7ejEb
In MotoGP, making even a small mistake will be extremely costly as a leading team can lose a race within a fraction of a second. Former World Champion Francesco Bagnaia lost his lead to Jorge Martin by making a single mistake in the Malaysian GP sprint race which cost him the championship by ten points against Martin.
