Max Verstappen, a world champion to the power of 4!

The marijuana fumes smelled by several drivers on the sidelines of Friday's free practice did not make him lose his mind or his sense of priorities. Max Verstappen did not win (5th), but the main thing was elsewhere. The title, which was promised to him even before the season kicked off last March, is his! However, "Super Max" likes nothing less than to twist customs and push the limits of a sport whose rites and codes go back well before his birth. Thus, he appeared Saturday evening (the Vegas race is not run on Sunday) in front of the press, not in possession of a bottle of water, but a can of beer! A symbol of his claimed ease and his control over the sport. “I’m out of beer!” Maybe I'll take another one. And then maybe I'll move on. I don't need to drive anymore anyway. The slogan "Drink or drive, you have to choose" is very effective. That's good, because I don't need to drive anymore! Some time later, he proudly showed off a large glass of gin and tonic on Dutch television!
