The Italian crowd present at the Emilia Romagna GP all stood up for Max Verstappen‘s brilliance as he brought home his 65th victory in his 400th race with Red Bull. The Dutchman left no stone unturned to emerge victorious against the superior challenger of the McLarens. As the 27-year-old scored the race win and stood tall on the winning podium, the fans present at the circuit couldn’t resist celebrating the win in a wholesome manner.
Max Verstappen‘s dominance is often summed up by a song titled ’33 Max Verstappen’ which funnily chants his name multiple times. The song also contains loud and bassy beats, which further showcase his strength on the track. While the 2025 season isn’t exactly dominant for Verstappen, he has still managed to win a couple of races in an inferior chassis already.
While the Dutch national anthem was being played to honor Max Verstappen’s win at the Emilia Romagna GP, the fans present below the podium couldn’t help but sing to the melody of the Dutchman’s song. The loud roars of the fans singing the song also overcame the sound of the anthem. This definitely proves that Italy loves Verstappen, as the crowd present at the track was mainly Italian.
Verstappen did not fail to notice the sweet gesture from the fans and react accordingly. The Dutchman immediately broke into a massive smile as he heard the lovely chants towards him. Hence, the Emilia Romagna GP would definitely be a great refresher for the 27-year-old as Red Bull’s performance struggles seem to ease up. The reigning world champion continues to bridge the gap to the dominant McLarens at the forefront in the drivers’ title standings.
