Max Verstappen and F1 Stars Embrace Padel Ahead of Brazilian GP

Imagine race car drivers who zoom around tracks at super high speeds.

Before big races, some of these drivers, like Max Verstappen, are choosing to play a different game instead of just resting.

This game is called padel.

It's played on a smaller court with walls and uses racquets, kind of like a mix between tennis and squash.

Other famous drivers also enjoy playing padel.

They like it because it helps them think fast and react quickly, just like they do in their race cars, but it's also a fun way to relax with friends.

Some drivers even like it so much they have started their own teams!

Padel is becoming really popular for these athletes when they are not racing.
