The F1 hopeful living two lives to keep his dream alive

Having lost his backing from Red Bull, Richard Verschoor has had to graft to continue his ascent up the single-seater ladder. An impressive Formula 2 debut in Bahrain, despite the lateness of his deal, shows his unorthodox approach is paying dividends

That is exactly the situation facing 2019 Macau Grand Prix winner Richard Verschoor as he strives to not only impress F1 teams, but to just be in a viable position to compete in F2.
