Max Verstappen is known for his behavior during his famous live broadcast sessions.
In 2021, Verstappen was a Williams driver, 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 rival were in a fierce battle for the championship title until the last race of the season.
After the race, the Red Bull team principal expressed gratitude to Latifi and jokingly mentioned that he would receive a lifetime supply of Red Bull. During a press interview, Horner admitted that they needed something to happen in the last ten laps to secure Verstappen’s victory, and Latifi’s crash provided just that.
In a recent live broadcast, Verstappen was asked if he had spoken to Latifi about the incident, to which he humorously replied that Latifi may have a lifetime supply of Red Bull and that’s why they didn’t discuss the matter.
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 consistently winning Grand Prix races.
Verstappen has been exceptionally successful under the current F1 regulations, winning four 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 Verstappen should savor his success as it won’t last forever.
Regarding Verstappen’s future, there have been hints from his father that he may be considering a new team starting in 2026, although nothing is confirmed. With key figures leaving the team, there is a possibility that Verstappen may also leave. It is important to note that Verstappen has been associated with Red Bull since 2016.
