Asked if Verstappen personally scouts young drivers, he responded: "Scouting? Yeah. I watch a lot of racing myself. So, yeah, and then, of course, I have my dad and my manager, Raymond. I have people everywhere, so if I need information, I can ask them as well. But at the end of the day, I need to feel that it's someone I think is capable of doing it."
Max Verstappen has detailed his belief in rising Belgian superstar Dries van Langendonck, whom he signed to Verstappen Racing last month. "At the end of the day, if I see real potential in a person, because, in the end, the dream is Formula 1, right, for some of these drivers, then if I really feel like he's the one who can make it, I go for it. That's what I really felt with Dries. It's not because we speak the same language, but because of what he was doing from a young age. You could see he was naturally quick, always there. It probably takes him less effort to be there. So that's talent. Talent doesn't always beat hard work, so it's about trying to find that nice compromise between being very talented and helping him with everything that comes alongside that talent. Of course, I think he has already had good support up until now, with, you know, his parents doing everything they could with their know-how. I think now it's the next step, together with the McLaren programme, to make sure that he can make it to Formula 1 by making the right decisions, because it's so crucial that he always ends up in the right team to be able to show his talent. Besides that, of course, it's about the preparation for every new series he goes into. We just make sure every opportunity is there for him to take. Then it's up to him to take it."
