ICED UP • F1 World Champion Max Verstappen ripped 2022 into action with a day out with Austrian ice speedway star Franky Zorn. Verstappen took to the track with former European Ice Racing Champion Zorn, 51, in the driving exhibition hosted by the GP Ice Race circuit at Zell am See Airport. “This was my first time on the ice with a Formula One car and I’ve been really looking forward to it, ” Verstappen said. “It was very interesting and it’s quite slippery, so you have to be careful. Everything is very cold, including the brakes, and racing cars are obviously not designed to drive on the ice, which makes it even more difficult, but it was a lot of fun.”
