Verstappen接受訪問時表示，他曾經向Red Bull表達想嘗試MotoGP賽車，但被Red Bull以
「這樣太危險」的理由拒絕了。
Verstappen說道，Red Bull 在 MotoGP 除了有冠名KTM廠隊之外，也有贊助Honda廠隊，
並擁有自家的賽道 Red Bull Ring，所以應該是不難成行才對。但Red Bull說不行，因為
他們認為太危險了…

安啦，明年開始和Honda合作，參加年底的 Honda Thanks Day，應該就有機會騎 RC213V
了XD

Max Verstappen says his Formula 1 employer Red Bull forbade him from trying ou
t a MotoGP bike, on the grounds that it would be “too dangerous”.
The 21-year-old Dutchman, who has four grand prix wins to his name and is cont
racted with Red Bull through 2020, has previously expressed interest in triall
ing premier-class grand prix motorcycle racing machinery.
Speaking to Motorsport.com's sister publication F1 Racing last year, Verstappe
n said: “I'd like to try MotoGP. When I was eight years old I used to race on
two wheels as well as four. I really liked it.
“It was a bit more dangerous, of course, but absolutely I would like to try i
t.
"MotoGP is a different world but I like the feeling of getting close to the gr
ound with your knees in the corners.”
A year on, Verstappen has revealed that he'd made the request to Red Bull – w
hich serves as the KTM MotoGP team's title sponsor and backs a number of other
teams and riders in the category – but was turned down.
“I would love to be able to race on two wheels,” he reiterated during an eve
nt organised by his personal sponsor Exact. “I'm not allowed to.
“I bought myself a Harley[-Davidson bike] and I asked the team if I could try
a MotoGP bike, because Red Bull are a sponsor there as well, with KTM and Hon
da. And we have a track, the Red Bull Ring.
“But they firmly said no, because it’s too dangerous.”
Crossover tests between F1 and MotoGP normally go in the other direction, with
Red Bull itself having arranged a Red Bull Ring test for Honda riders Marc Ma
rquez and Dani Pedrosa earlier this year.
However, McLaren driver Fernando Alonso did trial the Honda RCV213 MotoGP bike
on two occasions, during the annual Honda 'Thanks Day' in 2015 and 2016, whil
e the Woking-based F1 team remained affiliated with the Japanese manufacturer.
