The F1 champion Max Verstappen is not only a master or speed – he is also a master in balance. He shared how he kept his sharpness, found his calmness in chaos and discovered happiness both inside and on the track.

Max VerstappenAt the height of the world. He is the most successful 27 -year -old racer who has ever joined F1. A talent from the generation with four world championships, in 2025, witnessed him to win the fifth championship record in a row. Only the big Michael Schumacher reached that miracle, and he was 35 years old when he completed the victory.
While Verstappen, in terms of sport, only reached its peak. Despite the great success on the track, he still kept calm and concentrated on what was really important in life, as he revealed in an exclusive interview with Red Bull’s High -End Fashion brand Alphatauri, where he was just announced as the brand ambassador.
A decade after the F1 trip, Verstappen was not only one of the greatest talents of this sport, but also an adult racer and became an inspiring model. Known for his intense determination and the spirit of racing without fear, he learned to balance success with a deeper understanding of life. “I have worked all my life to succeed in racing, and although it was very important to me, but in the end it didn’t define the true happiness,” he said. “Real happiness comes from your friends, family and loved ones.”
Verstappen has raced F1 for 10 years, won 63 victories and 112 times on stage. After the dominance by 2022 and 2023, his 2024 campaign was the most difficult title to protect his title. “We don’t always have the fastest car, so we have to come together as a team and try not to make too many mistakes.”
He won nine wins during the season – the car often conquered in this process. And then the performances exceeded his incredible victory in the Grand Prix Brazil in November last year to bring him to the attention of the whole world.
In Paddock he is now an experienced racer when a new generation was on the net behind him. And he is a model for millions. All are responsible, but he tries to show it softly.

Verstappen grew up with his father in the F1 circus and in Monaco – the resort of the Racing Sport on the French Riviera. This is the place where he returned to relax and rebuild, ready to continue when the test started at the end of February. A modern F1 season means to fly a maximum of 24 races in 21 countries, and as well as all its tasks in the track, there are performances on the media and official exchange sessions. “Verstappen said:” The season is very hard and they have added more places and races over the years. “That is why it is very important to find your own time, try to rest and spend time with family and friends. “
He has a perfect place in Monte Carlo, where he can resume his private life. “Freedom for me is just at home and does not have to worry about what I then have to do in my schedule,” Max said. “And Monaco is the place I call at home. I can relax and do my own things there.”
