While Max Verstappen himself has been heavily linked with McLaren in recent weeks, on Thursday morning he made an intriguing announcement that connects the two parties in a very different way.
Verstappen has entered into a partnership with Belgian talent Dries Van Langendonck, who is currently competing in British Formula 4. Van Langendonck is a McLaren junior and Verstappen immediately stressed in Spa that his new protege will remain one.
