The Goodwood Festival Of Speed 2024 is currently underway and it features many great figures of the Motorsport world. This time, Formula 1 racers Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo, and Yuki Tsunoda are also present at the event to celebrate Oracle Red Bull Racing’s 20th anniversary.
At the event, three-time World Champion Max Verstappen was seen driving the iconic RB16B, in which he won his first F1 championship in 2021. The season was special for the Dutch racer, not just because he won his first-ever championship, but also his intense battle with Lewis Hamilton that only saw a result in the final minutes of the season's last race in Abu Dhabi.

Speaking about the same, Tsunoda revealed that he fit in tight in the cockpit of the vintage car as compared to the modern one. “Normally, I’m quite small in the cockpit, but actually even my size, it’s actually quite tight,” said Tsunoda.
“Everything feels direct. Even the process of starting the engine. It’s very difficult. But at the same time, you feel like you’re controlling the car.”, he continued.
He added, "To drive this car, try to remind yourself like treating your grandma. Everything gentle."
