I love that bit:

“It was, yeah,” confirmed Verstappen, when asked whether his lap was faster than that record ahead of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix this weekend. “But for me I’m not there to show that I can break a lap record or whatever record, I was just having fun and learning the track.”

Yeah, learned the track and managed to break a record in the process, lol.

For those curious, Nurburgring.tv released aerial footage of his lap https://youtu.be/WbEqjgINq0E
