World's Best Drivers Race Cars In REVERSE ⏪

Formula 1 drivers are extremely talented at driving fast _forwards,_ but can they race a car in reverse? We sent Max Verstappen & Yuki Tsunoda to Zandvoort ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, and put them in DAF Variomatic cars find out. Capable of driving at 120kph backwards these cars are a whole new challenge 🏁

It's nice to see Verstappen practicing to win Dutch GP from P20 driving backwards.

congrats to yuki, he was technically all the time ahead of max xD

Already waiting for Round 3 of Yuki vs Max...

DAF... the iconic car from the Netherlands which could go as fast forward as backward. My aunt had one. Driving in the 1970s required some real survival skills...

The "Are you ok?" when Yuki crashed. I can only imagine the worry of whoever thought of this idea.

This seems like a good time to mention that Max was allowed to drive an F1 car before he was allowed to drive a road car.

Gotta admit Max's adaptability is mesmerizing to say the least

We've seen Max Verstappen race caravans in the past and now we've seen him race in reverse. I think he's ready for the ultimate challenge: reverse caravan racing.

It's more difficult than it looks, I once tried it with an old DAF destined for demolition, I ended up side down on the roof after the first attempt at a corner

The crossover we didn't ask for but the crossover we needed

I just love the combination of Yuki and Max together doing silly things. Yuki is basically the same fearless type as Max was when he started. Funny to think they both are the youngest Red bull drivers in F1, and Checo and Pierre are the 'older' more sensitive 'brothers' at Red bull, lmao! 😂

I remember as a little kid watching "Achteruitrijden" on TV with commentator André van Duijn. Hilarious! Back in those days everything was possible. Nobody had ever heard of safety. Good times back then.

Only for the Dutch: "Me gras! Me gras!"

This is the sort of race 40-year-old dads would be better at than F1 drivers 😂

Driving backwards was popular on tv in the late 70’s. Most of the cars were DAF cars because they had only two gears; forward and reverse. In the same tv show, they also raced with caravans behind their cars. There definitely was often material on the track.

I am a Lewis fanboy, but Max has my utter respect for doing this so smoothly. It's not easy going fast in reverse - let alone navigating corners. Credit where credit is due - Good one, Max 🔥🔥🔥

"Yuki you ok?" I love their friendship 😅

[Suicaedere]

bahahaha! this was so awesome! great job boys, and what a fun idea!

Yuki is one of my favorite drivers and personalities in F1. I love seeing Max and Yuki do this kinda of stuff🙌❤️🙌

[johnandmorehb]

As a kid I loved to watch this and also the caravanraces at Zandvoort. Safety wasnt a big issue back

[hanaeyoshida]

Yuki saying "oh thank god i survived it" is such a mood🤣❤
