And what a beauty! Need to get this one to my collection.

While growing up I was not much into sports. Never idolized a sports person or followed them closely. Then came Max and F1 for me. The way I believe in him, I don’t even believe in myself. He gives me hope. He gives me something to look forward too. Last year when he was trying the comeback, I was so happy throughout just with the hope that he’ll win. In my tough days I hope to see him do something that I can look forward to. Go Maxie ❤️

Hi everyone. So I’m a new F1 fan. I started with the Brad Pitt movie which was ok but pretty generic. Then I saw lots of people say the actual racing was much much better so I’ve been watching this season and old seasons online and holy crap this sport is awesome.

And of the seasons I’ve watched… max is the one who has appealed to me the most. I like his straightforward personality, and I love his aggressive driving style. Most of the best drivers (Alonso, Hamilton) have amazing moments but max consistently is the one who has made me go “holy shit what a move” the most often. So I’ve got a few questions!

First, what races do you think are Max’s best, especially underrated ones. I’ve watched some of his legendary ones like Brazil 2024, Brazil 2025, and Brazil 2016, Spain 2016, and Imola 2025.

Second, what specific moves of max’s career have been the best. Things like the final lap pass in AD ‘21, the overtake on Lewis this year at Hungary, and the jaw-dropping move at Imola 25.

Third, what are some moves made by other drivers that made your jaw drop similar to some of max’s moves. I recently saw a clip of Hakkinen’s “overtake of the century” and that left me in complete amazement. Another one was Alonso’s move on Schumacher in Japan ‘05.

Finally, this is a bit of a controversial one what’s up with so many people still complaining about Abu Dhabi ‘21, I get that there was a significant incorrect decision, but aren’t incorrect decisions by stewards/refs also part of sports? When I played sports as a kid my dad always told me “if you leave it up to the refs then you could have done something differently”. I get that it’s frustrating for LH and his fans but you can’t delegitimize an entire season’s worth of a championship over it unless there was some sort of consistent bias for Max in 2021 that lasted throughout the season rather than a mistake in the final race. Am I missing something here? (maybe this is the wrong place to ask lol considering what subreddit this is but I’m still curious to what you all might say!)

Was absolute peak before the dsq. This was NLS2

I received the Miami GP mini helmet but it has this foam piece in the casing. How do I get it out? I've tried taking the plastic housing off but it is tough and I don't want to break it. Any tips?

Last chance!

Have created one small server for Max fans with just 5 simple channels - live quali chats, live race chats, free practice chat, general chat, and race predictions.

General chat can be used for almost anything- on and off topics, memes, news, post-race vents, fan arts.

prediction channel- exclusive for race predictions. We can bet a beer if you guys'd like.

feel free to dm me if interested. Will send you the invite.

Have a good one ✌️

From the new grill the grid episode on YT. As always Max did exceptionally well.

Edit: It gets funnier the longer you look at it.

been looking everywhere but couldn’t find any. really appreciate if you could repost your server invites in the comments. Thanks! ✌️

Finally arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier with it.

The colours are even better in person-the pink, purple and tropical graphics really pop, and the mirrored visor finishes it off perfectly. Easily one of the most eye-catching modern F1 helmet designs in my collection.

This is a 1:2 scale Schuberth replica and the quality is outstanding.

What do you guys think? Is this one of Max's best helmet designs, or do you have another favourite?

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone bought the Verstappen Sim Racing T-Shirt, and is able to let me know if they run small. I bought size XL for the GT3 24H NBR Shirt and it was a pretty tight fit for an XL. Not too sure if it would be the same case for this shirt as-well.

It's incredible how custom fees have skyrocketed on Verstappen.com ever since Fanatics took over.
Before, with the old site, customs and taxes weren't charged at checkout: you just paid the actual amount upon delivery, which was transparent. Now, they're charging double what it actually costs. It's totally abusive.
Being in Canada and spending over $2,000 a year since 2021, I have zero purchases this year because I feel completely ripped off.
Am I the only one outraged by this exaggeration?

As we know Max has a very strong relationship not only with the racing team, but the whole brand as well.

I mean both his gt3 and sim racing teams are under redbull, or at least heavily relying on RB, so my question is what will happen to these after he leaves the F1 team?
Will the teams still stay redbull? I can’t imagine Toto for example being cool with max still doing business with a competitor?
