VIDEO: Verstappen, Gasly hit by 'axe' thrown by Red Bull!

The 'lumberjack' promotional shoot in Canadian Grand Prix week is becoming something of a tradition, especially for Red Bull, and it no different this week as Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly sampled a taste of the woodchuck's life before heading to Montreal.

Verstappen has previously competed against former Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo in an axe-throwing contest.

This year, there was wood to chop and with plenty of axes lying around, one sneaky member of the Red Bull crew decided the time was right to prank the drivers.

Luckily, no F1 drivers were harmed in the making of this video...
