Max Verstappen is someone who has shown that his racing guts have no limits at times on a Formula 1 track.
The Dutchman dares to reach and go over the limits week in, week out, in the pursuit of achieving what so many have failed to do.
This year, he’s trying to win his fourth consecutive championship, which would see him lift himself further in the conversation of the greatest drivers in the sport’s history.
He would become the fifth driver to achieve the feat, after the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, and Lewis Hamilton.
IndyCar is not a possibility for Max Verstappen
Racing in IndyCar has long since been something that has scared Formula 1 drivers, with the danger of ovals apparent to everyone.
Schumacher, Hamilton, and Daniel Ricciardo are all drivers are admitted that the series is not something that they would be interested in.
Even current driver Romain Grosjean refused to participate on oval tracks before a bit of a U-Turn which has seen him begin to compete on them.

It now appears that speaking on Pirelli’s Box Box Box podcast, Verstappen agrees with the views of those before him.
“In an F1 car? No. it’s not for me,” he said.
“I like to do it for fun online, but not in real life. Indy, NASCAR.. I like to watch it, not to drive it myself.”
When could we see Verstappen move on from Formula 1?
Verstappen’s current Formula 1 contract with Red Bull is a deal that is set to see him through to the end of the 2028 season.
That means four more years of the two attempting to conquer the rest of the field that they have effectively dominated throughout the current set of technical regulations.
McLaren have caught up and overtook them this season, proving that their car development and upgrade path has been the best in the sport this season.

If that trend continues, Verstappen may want to explore options outside of the series in the future, but it seems that IndyCar or NASCAR won’t be involved in those considerations.
The World Endurance Championship would be a great place to go, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans proving to be a popular place for Formula 1 drivers to test their skills.
