Watch F1 Driver Max Verstappen Spot a Giant Lizard on the Track

Formula One driver Max Verstappen spots a giant lizard on the Singapore Grand Prix track.

Formula One driver Max Verstappen was completely shocked when he spotted a giant lizard during practice three at the Singapore Grand Prix.

When the 18-year-old Red Bull driver saw the lizard, he told his engineers over the radio:

There’s a giant lizard on the track. I am not joking.

One of the engineers in reply said:

Have you just come face to face with Godzilla?

The giant reptile is suspected to be a monitor lizard, which is common in Singapore.

Lucky lizard there! Although clever to wait for Max Verstappen to pass him before venturing out across the track. Never seen that before!
