Rinus VeeKay speaks about how his professional boxer wife can 'beat him up'

Dale Coyne Racing driver Rinus VeeKay spoke about his professional boxer wife beating him up. While speaking with James Hinchcliffe, on Java with James, he was questioned about the same. The 24-year-old boxer said:

"Definitely. One thing about boxing techniques, like technique over power, right? I'm heavier, you might say I'm stronger," Rinus VeeKay said. "But you first got to be able to actually hit her, right? Because she moves like she's right behind you. I don't see her. She's so quick. And, well, she just has, like we have that racing IQ when we're out there. She has that ring IQ, that fight IQ."

The Dutch driver made his debut with Ed Carpenter Racing in 2020 and was axed from the team by the end of 2024. Just before the 2025 season kicked off he was signed by the Dale Coyne Racing team.
