Aston Martin Red Bull Racing - Max Verstappen And Daniel Ricciardo Play Badminton In Shanghai (VIDEO)

Badminton is pretty much a national pastime in China, with an estimated 100 million people playing regularly, and at the top level the country has long dominated the sport. And at the tippy top of the topmost in China is Wang Yihan. The Chinese ace is an eight-time world champion and held the number one spot in the women’s ranking for a staggering 116 weeks straight, so there could be no better tutor (or tougher adversary) for Aston Martin Red Bull Racing duo Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo in the team's Shanghai shuttlecock challenge at the city’s Lark Sports Centre.
