A champion's party
Winning a world title in Formula 1 it is certainly a special experience, something rare and incredible regardless location where it happens. But succeed in Las Vegasin the city that is the symbol of entertainment, can certainly add aplus' from the point of view of the post-race celebrations. This is what he was able to experience this year Max Verstappenwho arithmetically boasted his fourth career world title in the infamous 'Sin City'.
The orange champion in the past had not been too kind with the Nevada track, criticizing the excessive show surrounding the event and 'declassifying' it as equivalent to a national football championship, while the Monaco GP – in his comparison – would have the Champions League. Winning the championship on the Strip, however, certainly has its advantages, especially for those who don't mind a good one party in grande stilecome Verstappen.
Interviewed on the TV show Hangar 7transmitted by the Austrian Hello TVthe #1 of the Red Bull team recounted his 'alcoholic' celebrations in Las Vegas: “My post-race interviews after the title? I think they were quite funny – joked Verstappen – during the first one I was still quite calm, but during the last one…by then I had had five or six beers and two gin and tonics. And after such a long race, without eating, you obviously feel it“.
The relationship with Seb
Verstappen's four consecutive titles, all of which came at the wheel of Red Bull, mirrored those won between 2010 and 2013 by Sebastian Vettel. At the beginning of Verstappen's career, when the German champion was at the wheel of Ferrari, there was no shortage of disagreements, even quite bitter ones, on the track between Seb and Max. Now instead the two became good friends. Verstappen has in fact confirmed as much already mentioned by Vettel in recent interviewsthat is, that the two often speak via message.
“We've been in touch throughout the year – said the champion from Hasselt – we write something to each other after almost every race. Sebastian is very kind, I like him a lot”.
