Red Bull Racing teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are known for their skills on the racetrack, but recently they have been embracing a new challenge off the track – learning Capoeira.

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. It is known for its fast and complex movements, as well as its focus on flexibility and agility.

Ricciardo and Verstappen have been training with Capoeira instructors in between races, and they have been quickly picking up the art form. Videos of the drivers practicing Capoeira have been shared on social media, showing off their impressive skills and dedication to learning something new.

Both drivers have spoken about how Capoeira has helped them improve their physical fitness and coordination, as well as providing a fun and challenging way to stay active when they are not behind the wheel of their race cars.

In an interview, Ricciardo said, “Capoeira is a really cool way to stay in shape and challenge yourself. It requires a lot of focus and concentration, which is something that translates well to racing.”

Verstappen added, “I’ve always been interested in martial arts, so learning Capoeira has been a great experience for me. It’s a fun way to work on my agility and balance.”

In addition to the physical benefits, Capoeira also teaches important values such as respect, discipline, and teamwork – qualities that are essential for success both on and off the racetrack.

As they continue to train and improve their Capoeira skills, Ricciardo and Verstappen are proving that they are not just talented drivers, but also dedicated athletes who are willing to take on new challenges and push themselves to new heights.

Fans of the drivers can look forward to seeing them incorporate their newfound Capoeira skills into their training routines and perhaps even on display at future races. Who knows, maybe we’ll see some Capoeira inspired victory celebrations on the podium!
