Max Verstappen Breaks the Internet by Using a “Fridge” to Flex “Illegitimate” Title on Lewis Hamilton
Follow Us
Max Verstappen has quickly become a household name through his exploits in Formula 1. Even though the stock of the Dutch lion was high ever since his debut, he became a bona fide superstar after he clinched his maiden F1 driver’s title back in 2021. After an epic season of dueling with arguably the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time, Lewis Hamilton, Verstappen came out victorious in the dying embers of the last-ever race of that season. His prize? That historical F1 WDC trophy.
You’d be well within your rights to expect that trophy to be treated with the utmost fanfare. Many fans would’ve even expected an elaborate trophy room in Verstappen’s house. However, the way the 2x champion actually prefers to celebrate his historic win has left many fans in stitches. A picture surfaced online where Verstappen can be seen putting in some laps on his home racing sim. But keen-eyed fans spotted an anomaly.

A few fans also took a swipe at the 2x champion for the controversial circumstances in which he won his first title.
