Verstappen seems to be taking the stress of the championship by having this thrilling activity. But F1 Twitter didn’t take long to troll Ferrari with the help of this post.
Several tweets saw the bouncing of Verstappen during jet-skiing equivalent to the porpoising in the Ferrari cars. One user literally said, “Only porpoising that Red Bull drivers are feeling.”

Meanwhile, other fans also remarked jokingly that Verstappen is preparing for wet conditions. A spell of rain during a qualifying or main race can turn the events chaotic and interesting for fans. At that phase, a skillset of a driver is massively crucial.

Red Bull aims to have their Spain redemption
Last year, Mercedes had a thumping win over Red Bull when Lewis Hamilton crossed the chequered flag 15 seconds before the Dutchman. Now, after a year, Red Bull is clearly better than the Silver Arrows.
Thus, to have their sweet revenge, and also to match up against Ferrari and Charles Leclerc in the standings, Verstappen would be aiming for nothing less than a win in Barcelona.
