It’s questionable whether clicking Verstappen’s pictures when he wasn’t aware of and publishing them is ethical, but that’s the new F1 ecosystem we live in by the looks of it.
Max Verstappen’s partner praises his detachment from material things
Max Verstappen’s partner Kelly Piquet, in a recent interview, showered praise on the Red Bull driver for his detachment from material things. Talking about Verstappen, Piquet said:
“He remains so modest; he stands firmly with both feet on the ground. He’s shown everyone that he deserves it; he’s the driver who makes the fewest mistakes on the racetrack right now, and he’s very consistent. He is confident and not interested in fame or material things.”
Verstappen will look to defend his title in 2023 even though the challenge is going to be much bigger. Mercedes and Ferrari will be better placed and to add to it, Red Bull will be on the back foot because of their cost cap penalty. The 2023 F1 season could prove to be the toughest title campaign of Verstappen’s career.
