From an early age, Max Verstappen exuded an aura of destined success. The Dutchman joined F1 at 17 with Toro Rosso, even before obtaining his license. Since then, he has been consistently rewriting history with his record-breaking achievements. At just 25, he already boasts the title of a double world champion. Verstappen secured last season’s victory through an unprecedented 15 wins.

Beyond his evident driving talent, Max Verstappen harbors a concealed confidence within the car that is truly remarkable. A recently surfaced video captures a rare glimpse of him effortlessly maneuvering his $2,700,000 Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar with astonishing ease, using just one hand. This hypercar, a collaborative creation involving Red Bull’s Adrian Newey, is a powerful emblem of his exceptional skills.

Within Max Verstappen’s impressive collection of Aston Martins lies a quartet of exceptional models. Among these, the DB11 stands out – a road-legal incarnation of James Bond’s illustrious Spectre car – boasting a value of $200,000. Complementing this is the possession of the 2018 Vantage ($150,000) and the commanding DBS Superleggera ($360,000).

Yet, in this luxury constellation, none radiate awe quite like the Valkyrie, a hypercar that commands an astounding $2,700,000. Reflecting on a test drive from three years ago, Verstappen labeled it “insane” in an interview with motorsport.com.  Even in its developmental stage, the 25-year-old was awestruck by its unmatched downforce capabilities, deeming them “incredible.”

Throughout the 2023 F1 season, Max Verstappen, the current two-time world champion, has dazzled with his extraordinary performance. Remarkably, he has secured an impressive ten victories out of the 12 races held so far, and in the remaining two, he has consistently achieved no less than second place.
