Japanese mini trucks make things difficult for F1 drivers

JAPAN'S four F1 drivers - including defending champion Max Verstappen - are divided into two teams, competing through games with Honda's kei-truck model.

The Scuderia Alpha Tauri racing team includes two drivers Liam Lawson (New Zealand) and Yuki Tsunoda (Japanese), while the Red Bull F1 team includes Sergio Perez (Mexican) and reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen (Belgian-Dutch). ). The competition took place in Japan, before the F1 race in this country last weekend.

"I drove a kei-truck a few times when I was 18 years old. My grandfather had one for gardening. The truck was the perfect size, fun to drive, very easy to control and maneuverable," Tsunoda speak.

In the first challenge, drivers will have to drive the car backwards along a zig zag path and stop with parallel parking skills. Tsunoda helped the Alpha Tauri team win with a confident performance. But in the blindfold driving game, Perez gave better instructions to help Verstappen complete the challenge without making a mistake.

Alpha Tauri won the bowling, but Red Bull F1 was better in the delivery challenge and won the overall trophy thanks to Verstappen's skills. In the Japanese F1 race last weekend, Verstappen was also the champion.
