One may consider Max Verstappen as the most aggressive driver of Formula One. But speaking about his off-track side, he is probably one of the softest men, especially for his partner, Kelly Piquet. Millions of fans love the way Max treats his girlfriend; the pair, indeed, is an influencer for the couple. The 25-year-old driver is now a back-to-back Formula One champion.
This year with 15 GP victories, he succeeded in setting the record for most wins in a season which surpassed Michael Schumacher’s record of 13 wins. Max Verstappen is definitely the shining star of Formula One at present. But one might notice that the driver never shows off on his social media accounts. This is because “he doesn’t like material things,” as claimed by his partner, Piquet.
This year after clinching the championship title in Japan with four races remaining, the driver made himself the highest-paid driver of formula one. According to Forbes, Max Verstappen got $60 million, which is $5 million more than the seven-time-world champion, Lewis Hamilton. However, these highest-paid salaries and fame, like 30 million fans, are not a thing of interest to Max Verstappen. Kelly believes that he is modest and stands firmly with both feet on the ground.
Max Verstappen Is The Modest Driver, As Per Kelly Piquet
In an interview with Vogue Magazine Netherlands, Kelly Piquet proudly said, “Max Verstappen does fewest mistakes on the tracks at present, he is very inconsistent. He has the confidence and is definitely not interested in name or fame or any materialistic things.”
Looking at the lifestyle of the driver, he does everything that a happy man does. He has a family, friends, and a beautiful girlfriend, with whom the paparazzi often catch him. However, he himself doesn’t post anything regularly on his Instagram like the other F1 drivers. Once a month, fans get to see a post of Max Verstappen, which his manager probably does.
However, the social media itself remains filled with Max Verstappen’s content. Recently, the Vogue published a quote from Piquet which she revealed in an interview speaking about her relationship with Max. she said, “If I say die, he will die!” This took fans, hearts. She also revealed a cute conversation saying, “if Max Verstappen said to me that he wants to buy me a car, I would say, Yes please, an electric one.”
Meanwhile, in an interview, Max Verstappen revealed why he doesn’t interact with fans through social media, to which he said, “I don’t feel the need to show my private life to the millions of people.” Not only that he is busy with his career, but he will also never post regularly when he retires from the sport. Max does not see himself posting much even after he is done with the sport.
