Max Verstappen says young racers should “forget the go-kart” and spend 300 days on a simulator instead, arguing karting only teaches basics and doesn’t match real car dynamics. He sees sims as the better path for future drivers.

When asked if a driver should do 300 days of go-karting or 300 days in the simulator, Verstappen replied: “Forget the go-kart.

“That's the problem with our sport - when you grow up playing football, you play from a young age with the ball. “The ball doesn't change.

“For us, I feel like a go-kart is not the same as a race car.

“[With a] go-kart, you learn the basics of racing - starts defending, overtaking, but a go-kart does not handle like a car.

“You already sit completely different, you have suspension. The go-kart, you always have to slide it because you have the axle, it always needs to be free and always needs to slide.

“A car is the opposite, because the car, for me always needs to be stuck on the rear and then you try to take as much front end as you can, but in general, the rear needs to be stuck.

“So the whole driving dynamic is very different. I would always say do go-karting for fun, but not, not as a proper practice.

“Go-karting is fine - it’s very good to learn as a kid but at one point that’s done and you need to move on.”
