Max Verstappen has joked that he's ready to race 200 drivers next after storming from the back of a 101-grid to take victory in his half his allotted time in Max vs 100 on Wednesday.
Verstappen needed just 14 laps, and 35 minutes, to complete the challenge, which was broadcast live globally on ESPN on Disney+.
The unique go-karting race represented the latest of the four-time world champions' side quests away from Formula 1 and the Red Bull driver is already looking ahead to his next test.
"Yeah, that's what I said before ... I was like maybe 200 [drivers] and then we'll see again," he told the media after the race at Silverstone.
The event took place on a custom-built track, a mix of two different circuits: 1.3km of permanent karting track on the Silverstone infield, with another 1.15km of temporary track added specifically for this event.
He was given 30 laps, or 75 minutes, to get the job done against athletes, content creators, journalists and other celebrities, and he ended up exceeding everyone's expectations, including his own.
Verstappen managed to pass 63 drivers on the very first lap and when he was asked if he had a strategy heading into the race, he said: "I mean, when I was walking to the grid and I saw where I had to start it's like oof, that's a very far way back. But after my first lap I was like I think we're all right, I think we're good.
"It was mainly just depending on the first two laps, that's why I was like OK if I clear the first two laps, what can it be like at 15-20 laps. But yeah, I think the first lap went a bit better than expected, so that helps a lot.

"The first lap is just chaos so you just want to survive and then after that it's a bit like you're just hunting them down. So that's also quite nice where you have to just put the laps in by yourself and you catch them one by one.
"You just act on instinct, whatever happens when the lights go out, you kind of just see where the gaps are and then you also kind of need to trust the few people around you that they don't do anything crazy. But to be honest, they didn't."
He managed to clear the field but he spent several laps catching the top three -- journalist Jacky Martens, YouTuber Zac Alsop and Red Bull's own Lewis Osler.
Verstappen has always had fond memories of his karting days, and heading into the event he said the last time he raced in a "proper go-kart" was 2016.
"It's just great that with Red Bull they always come up with some crazy fun things and it suits me as well," he said.
"I can really be myself and I think also the way it was organised today, I know that it requires a lot of effort to be able to do something like this.
