Follow Us
It was indeed a Sunday to remember for Max Verstappen and Red Bull as the duo pulled off a stunning Hungarian GP victory steal with game-changing calls at the right moment. What’s more, Ferrari’s horrendous outing further helped the Milton Keynes outfit embrace a double-delight. However, here’s something interesting!
Their stupendous Sunday kick-started way earlier than the main event itself, as the driver’s parade gifted the dynamic Red Bull pair with a pleasant surprise.
As Verstappen and his teammate, Sergio Perez hopped onto one of the open-roof classic cars ahead of the parade, something on the dashboard left the pair in absolute glee. Wondering what that was? Well, the dashboard had the signature of world-famous Hollywood star, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Soon after, both Perez and Verstappen leaped off their seats to take a closer look at the signature when the former questioned the car driver, “You’re his friend or?“. Subsequently, the driver acknowledged. Turns out, Schwarzenegger does own the $255,000 worth Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz.

Of course, it was rather disappointing not being able to catch a glimpse of the man himself at the Hungaroring circuit. But, the good news is, the video had a pretty interesting twist at the very end. While Schwarzenegger wasn’t necessarily in the video, his voice made a brief cameo with the trademark phrase, “I’ll be back.”
Has Arnold Schwarzenegger ever taken part in an F1 weekend amid the latest Max Verstappen surprise?
The answer is yes! Schwarzenegger was one of the biggest highlights of the 2015 Australian Grand Prix as the 75-year-old joined the top-three drivers on the podium. The former Mr. Universe interviewed the race winner, Lewis Hamilton followed by Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg.
The whole interview was rather hysterical, with the seven-time world champion persistently taking jabs at Schwarzenegger. For instance, Hamilton joked about the ‘Terminator’ star’s height. “I thought you were taller,” he said. But, then arrived a savage response from the big man – “I’m not wearing my high heels.”

Ultimately, similar to the latest Red Bull video, Schwarzenegger spilled out his trademark dialogue, “I’ll be back“. Only this time, the Austrian chose to do it together with Hamilton.
Overall, returning to the present, we’ve already caught a glimpse of Schwarzenegger’s lavish car. So, will the ‘Predator’ himself join the grid at some point this year? We’ll know in time.
