Max Verstappen says his nephews should enjoy karting, try different sports and feel no pressure to pursue particular dreams.

Max Verstappen says he is pleased that his nephews are karting, but wants them to enjoy it without expectations. Asked in Austin about footage of Luka and Lio at a kart track in Genk, he said that at their age the priority should be having fun and trying different sports, not pursuing a particular dream.

Earlier in the week, Victoria shared Instagram footage from a family outing. Their grandfather Jos gave Luka and Lio karting tips, while their younger sister Hailey was shown in a two-seater with Victoria.

Verstappen said the boys can always call him if they need anything. He hopes they continue to enjoy what they do and said he does not want to put unnecessary pressure on them.
