Max Verstappen has time and again emphasized on the importance of family in his life. We saw that how much his family meant to him after the win in Abu Dhabi when he was jumping up and down and hugging his father and his girlfriend. In an interview during the time when he was trailing Lewis Hamilton in the season, he said, “We didn’t talk about F1 because I don’t need advice.”

“I know what to do in the car and I don’t have to ask anyone. Better to spend some time with the family.”

He also shared his love for his girlfriend in an Instagram post, captioning, “Happy New Year everyone. Let’s make 2021 a year to remember in many ways. Wishing you all success, love and happiness just as I found mine,” as reported by express.

Max Verstappen might be aggressive on the track, where he needs to be, but off it, he definitely knows how to appreciate and gently love his family.
