Miami Gardens, FLA. – If you waitMax VerstappenStress or panic, or, like any other racer in the history of the car, obsessed with the next generation suddenly filled his rearview mirror, you can continue to wait. Because he didn’t do anything about it.

On Friday morning, the world champion Formula 1The four -year -old 27 -year -old went to the Paddock area of Miami Grand Prix, not like a twice winner of this race, or the winner of 64 F1 events. When he passes by photographers and fans, you won’t know he justWelcome a newborn daughter. And when he slid into a cabana in the garden to interview, people would not know that he did that in the middleRumors spread over accident at Red Bull, because he “only” won one of the five races that took place this season and “only” became third in the championship, after the McLarens pairOscar PlastriInLando Norris– considered the youth movement of this sport, but only three and two years younger than Verstappen.
No, he just looked like a man in the garage, exactly where he had to stay, where he was in all his life, but now there are more perspectives than ever when he really is.
“You just need to try to do the best as possible. We are not the fastest team at this time. We are trying to compete as much as we can, but in the end, that will not change my life in any way,” Verstappen said, not contempt but truth, when asked about the talks about the difficulties that are expected to be Red Bull’s previous day, the owner of the team ownersChristian Horner irritated: “Sometimes it is hard to understand where these titles come from”
On the brilliant F1 race with the intensity of Titanium radiant, the modest tone of the number 1 Horner Racer is also difficult to understand for the people around him – especially when he conquered them. Similarly, for billions of people who watch this sport on television, whether it is a live event or a reality TV program streaming, and believe who they know that Max is real. (Warning revealed: he said they didn’t know, and he also said he didn’t care.)
But even now, when running away with the checkered flag is not as simple as before, somehow, his posture, how wrong is understood, has become easier.
“I come here, do the best possible, go home, do other things, then come to the next race, try to do the best possible possible and go home,” he said a little shoulder. “So for me there is not much more busy or something. When I got home, I didn’t think actively:” Oh, just like I’m P3 in the championship, I have to do something! ” Or “What can I do?!” Such as, practical experience for many years, you know what to do and do nothing.
The most understandable answer to this saying is the voice of a new father, his neurological reaction changed immediately when his first child was born with long -term girlfriend Kelly Piquet,Lily Daughter, born in Monaco this week.
But his opponents know better. The cold of Verstappen is not something new. It is always in contrast to his aggressive weapon on the track, although even those who know that he knows the increase in his modest tone. A trend seems to have become up to a higher level just 24 hours before Lily was born.

“No,” Verstappen went with that idea.
“I have a contract until 2028, so sure until then, then it only depends a bit on the type of project that is going on, whether it is interesting or not,” the man who owns the GT3, rally and virtual racing teams. “After winning the first championship [2021], everything is the next reward, and that is really the way I see it.
“I will do that as long as I want and I can contact this sport the way I want. As long as I want, really, that’s enough. Enjoy. And you know, it’s okay to leave my family.”

After his return to the second after the Australian driver in Saudi Aarabia, Verstappen spoke about Piastri: “He is in the third year and he is very solid. He is very calm in his approach, and I like it. It can be seen on the track.
If you are not familiar with the way the racers work, you will praise a person you are in one of those championship fights? Yes, that’s not too typical. But it is also a sign of the racer, who was not long ago, the veteran Battle of the Children, now a wise old veteran.
“If people ask me a question and I want to answer, I will answer my own way, and I am always honest, open and very candid, I think. But I am just, you know,” said Verstappen, in an attempt to avoid the perspective “Do you like being a wise wise way?” From the question, but then it sounds like, yes, a wise old way.
“I respect the young men who also participate in this sport, and the Oscar is doing very well, and I don’t have the feeling that you should try to hide it. It is not weakness. And for me, what you are positive or negative about a man does not matter. Like that I cannot change the way I can give it to you, but you can give it to you.
As a young racer who becomes a legend, you also miss the good people with you in the past. And you really miss people who are not good, right?
“You know, many riders are still in Paddock or Rond Paddock, I think it’s great, you know? If you build a good relationship between riders.”
If it sounds like a collective hug, as a sudden shortage of Assassin Instinct, it reads wrong. It sounds loud, he is still like Max Verstappen, the third winner in the 75 -year history of Formula 1.Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio when it comes to the championships have won.
Only now does he sound like a man has found what many others in the profession he has never chosen, the balance between work and life. A man we have witnessed to grow up just before our eyes, determined to create the perfect personal establishment as he has done with many racing machines for many years.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
