Max Verstappen is set to race 100 drivers in a unique go-karting challenge, and his fellow Formula 1 rivals have given their predictions on how they think the race will go down.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Verstappen know each other very well on the karting track from years of battles when they were younger where they constantly fought for race wins.
Verstappen is returning to his racing roots and will be trying to overtake as many drivers as possible from the very back of the grid at Silverstone.
Leclerc has warned competitors that it would be "tough" to race against one of the best drivers of this generation, but to remember that he will have nine more rounds of the F1 season in front of him.
"I mean 100 [drivers] is a lot," he said.
"Ok, that would be fun. That would be cool. Honestly, the only advice I'll give is maybe not to crash into Max, because he's got a season to finish.
"And for Max to be careful, because I don't know how professional those drivers are, but 100 drivers is quite a lot on a track, so I think it would be fun.
"But obviously when you're racing against one of the best drivers in the world, they'll probably have a tough time."
This is unlike anything Verstappen has done before, and it will be taking place on a custom-built karting track in Silverstone on Sept. 16, just a few days after the Spanish Grand Prix.
Asked what he was most looking forward to about the live event, Verstappen said: "Just seeing the carnage unfold in front of me."

Mercedes' George Russell had a slightly different approach to taking on the Red Bull driver and advised that the competitors might need to be more tactical in order to keep the racing star behind.
Verstappen is known for his aggressive driving style and fearless overtaking and has four consecutive world championship titles to his name in F1.
"If you go full four abreast around the whole track he might be quite difficult to protect, so maybe a couple of drivers work as a team to try and block him," Russell advised.
The Englishman then found out that content creators and athletes will be racing against Verstappen, rather than professional racing drivers.
"He will be achieving that," Russell said. "I did a team race with 160 of my team members last week, and we had some top drivers, but yeah I think he should probably comfortably doing that task."
Max vs 100 will be broadcast live on Disney+ on Sept. 16.
