Max Verstappen made light of a dramatic 360-degree spin during the opening lap of the Miami Grand Prix, joking that he could pursue rally racing if his Formula 1 career ever ends.
Despite the high-speed rotation, the Red Bull driver managed to maintain control and keep his car on the track without losing significant positions to his rivals.
Verstappen attributed the incident to a sudden loss of rear grip, but his quick reflexes allowed him to complete the full spin and continue racing immediately.
Fans and commentators were amazed by his composure, as most drivers would have crashed or stalled the engine under similar circumstances on such a tight circuit.
The three-time world champion used the moment to highlight his versatility as a driver, often expressing interest in various forms of motorsport outside of the F1 circus.
While the spin provided a viral highlight for the weekend, it ultimately did not prevent him from securing another strong points finish in his dominant championship campaign.
