Verstappen took part in a filming day last October, just days after being crowned world champion for the second time, driving Red Bull’s 2013 F1 car around the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari. The RB9, which was powered by a naturally-aspirated Renault V8 engine, set off noise pollution detectors nearby, resulting in the circuit receiving a fine for the offence.
