Red Bull Racing has issued an official health update on Max Verstappen following his involvement in a terrifying multi-car crash at the Australian Grand Prix. The incident, which occurred in the opening laps of the race, saw several cars tangled in a chaotic collision that brought out the red flag.
According to Red Bull’s statement, Verstappen escaped without serious injury, though the Dutch driver was taken to the medical centre for precautionary checks. The team confirmed that while Max is “sore and shaken,” he is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the next Grand Prix.
“Max has undergone thorough medical evaluation and fortunately, there are no fractures or major injuries,” the team confirmed. “He will continue to be monitored over the coming days as a safety measure.”
The crash, which unfolded in dramatic fashion on the opening lap, saw Verstappen’s car sandwiched between multiple vehicles, resulting in heavy damage to his RB20 and forcing an immediate retirement from the race. Fans and team personnel held their breath as Verstappen climbed out of the wreckage visibly frustrated but able to walk away.
Team principal Christian Horner praised the FIA and medical teams for their swift response: “It was a scary moment, but safety procedures worked exactly as they should. We’re relieved Max is okay.”
Verstappen is expected to return to Red Bull HQ in Milton Keynes for further assessment, but early signs suggest he will be fit to compete at the upcoming Grand Prix.
