Max Verstappen will enjoy a major change to his personal life this year. Speaking exclusively to RacingNews365, Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen has forecast it will alter the Dutchman’s approach to racing.
Nine-time 24 Hour of Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen believes Max Verstappen’s approach to racing will change once he becomes a father. Verstappen is known for his love of racing and dedication to the sport, often participating in sim races when not on the F1 track. Despite his success and pursuit of a fifth title, Verstappen is set to become a father in 2025, as announced by him and his partner Kelly Piquet. Kristensen speculates that fatherhood will bring a shift in Verstappen’s priorities, potentially impacting his hunger for racing. While Verstappen maintains that his F1 duties won’t be affected, Kristensen suggests that balancing family and career could make him even stronger as a champion. The full interview with Kristensen discussing these insights will be released on Monday, February 10 on various platforms.
