Many of the modern F1 drivers just tend to chill out in the off-season. They may not go partying or on a vacation to the Caribbean. They would rather stream while gaming at home. One of the popular drivers who stream often is Lando Norris. And when he streamed with Max Verstappen once, they blasted some good tunes together.

On this Max said, “For me, that song completely f*cked me up.” Max’s reaction shows how he doesn’t like the fact that his immense popularity had gotten him his own song.
Meanwhile, Lando was completely hooked to the track. He said, “Freaking should be Dutch #1 song. I bet once you have had a few drinks right? End of season party, you have had a few drinks and you put this song on. Everyone will go crazy.“
Though Max reluctantly agreed to Lando’s suggestion, no one knows if they played it at any end-of-season parties yet.
