Max Verstappen has given an insight into what exactly he talks about with Nelson Piquet – and it is not Formula 1 or motorsport.
Max Verstappen, the outspoken Formula 1 driver, believes that F1 is headed in the wrong direction with the introduction of Sprint races. He prefers a simpler approach, where he can focus on performing well with Red Bull and winning races, as he has done in 2022 and 2023. Verstappen’s no-nonsense attitude extends beyond the race-track, as he keeps his private life separate from social media and chooses to follow other sports and athletes instead of Formula 1-related accounts. He values balance in his life and doesn’t want to be constantly aware of what’s happening in the F1 paddock. Even during his visits to Brazil to see his partner’s father, Nelson Piquet Sr, a three-time World Champion, they prefer not to speak about motorsport and focus on other aspects of life.
