Max Verstappen is in peak form at the moment. The Dutch Lion has won 5 races on the trot. He’ll be looking forward to the Singapore GP as he looks to break the record of most wins in a season. Another reason he’ll be looking forward to Singapore is that it’s the Dutchman’s birthday next week and he can coincidently win his second title there.

Only two drivers have won an F1 race on their birthday. British driver James Hunt in Zandvoort (1976) and Jean Alesi in Canada (1995). Whilst Max Verstappen will still be in Free Practice on his birthday, he has a unique chance to become the only driver to win the Formula 1 World Championship on their birthday weekend.

However, since the Dutchman will be racing next weekend, it seems that he decided to celebrate his birthday a week early. Joined by Lando Norris in Monaco, Max Verstappen threw a lavish birthday bash to celebrate his upcoming 25th birthday.

By the looks of it, the Formula 1 drivers partied hard. And it seems the Dutch driver might have enjoyed one too many drinks, which the fans didn’t fail to notice.

As Max partied like there was no tomorrow, it naturally sent fans on Twitter into a meltdown. Subsequently, they quickly posted tweets to share their feelings on the social media website.
