The life of an F1 driver can be tough, driving for 3 days straight, then pack everything and leave for the next destination. An F1 star is always surrounded by glamour, be it fast cars, fame, money. To achieve all this, an F1 driver has to travel thousands of miles. F1 drivers are known to possess private jets. Some of the drivers to own Private jet are Lewis Hamilton, Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher among others. The new entrant in the list is Max Verstappen.
In past, Max Verstappen had to let go of his business class seat for an economy seat. After the 2016 Canadian Grand Prix, Max was informed that his business class seat was booked and only an economy class seat was available. The seat available was by the washroom. Although, without losing his cool, Max boarded the flight.
Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner said, “With others it would’ve been a major issue, but [with Max] it was no issue at all. We got: ‘No problem, if that’s what’s available, I’ll do it, I’ll go down there’. And I think that’s what’s so refreshing about him. It’s just enthusiasm for being a Formula 1 driver and doing what he does.”
