Max Verstappen is notorious for his behavior during his well-known live stream sessions.
In 2021, Verstappen was a driver for Williams, and his crash during the Abu Dhabi GP resulted in a safety car that ultimately helped him secure his first world championship. Throughout that year, Verstappen and his competitor were in a close battle for the championship title until the final race of the season.
Following the race, the team principal of Red Bull, expressed gratitude towards Latifi and jokingly mentioned that he would receive a lifetime supply of Red Bull. During an interview with the media, Horner admitted that they needed something to happen in the last ten laps to ensure Verstappen’s victory, and Latifi’s crash provided just that.
In a recent live stream, Verstappen was asked if he had spoken to Latifi about the incident, to which he humorously responded that Latifi might have a lifetime supply of Red Bull and that’s why he hasn’t discussed it.
In 2022, Nicholas Latifi took a break from Formula 1 and has since been out of the spotlight. He recently shared his plans to pursue an MBA on social media. On the other hand, Verstappen has been dominating the sport and has been consistently winning Grand Prix races.
Verstappen has been exceptionally successful under the current F1 regulations, winning four out of the last five races of the ongoing season. His rivals are struggling to keep up with him in his RB20 car. Despite his growing dominance, Horner believes that Verstappen should savor his success as it won’t last forever.
Regarding Verstappen’s future, there have been hints from his father that he might be considering a new team from 2026 onwards, although nothing is confirmed. With key figures like leaving the team, there is a possibility that Verstappen might also depart. It’s important to note that Verstappen has been associated with Red Bull since 2016.
