From his special racing helmet to his cats, Max33Verstappen talks about his career and personal life ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix
He arrived to the Formula One scene as the youngest-ever driver at 17 years old before going on to be the youngest points scorer and youngest grand prix winner. Throughout his eight-year career, Verstappen has won 29 races so far, accumulating just over 1,800 points and 71 poles in that span.
But, Verstappen is known for more than just being a racing phenom. He’s a 24-year-old who describes himself as “very straightforward.” Cats and dogs are his favorite animals, and he’s not a fan of warm drinks or of books, saying he doesn’t “have the patience” for the latter. SI: Even though you still have many years left in your career, how do you hope fans will remember this chapter of your story?As a positive one [where] we’ll have a lot of race wins. And this is not the end of, let’s say, good result. But at the end of the day in F1, that also depends a lot on your car. I mean I’m 24 years old. I hope that for at least another five, six years, we can be this competitive.
SI: As an F1 driver, you have a lot of different routines, which also is human nature. What is your favorite part of any of your routines, whether it’s racing related or just something about you?Well, I like the Sunday morning routine because then it’s race day. You get ready to get out there and collect the points. That, for me, is the best day and also the most enjoyable to warm up because you know that you’re racing for something.
