WATCH: Max Verstappen’s sister Victoria hilariously takes him out while surfboarding
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen's sister Victoria hilariously took him out during surfboarding after his triumph at the recently concluded Las Vegas Grand Prix. In Sincity last weekend, the Dutch driver became only the sixth driver in F1 history to win four world championships and the fifth to do it in succession.
After his all-night celebration with the Austrian team in Las Vegas, the four-time F1 world champion hopped on his plane to Qatar for this weekend's race at the Lusail International Circuit in Doha.
In Qatar, Max Verstappen was spotted celebrating his title in a water park with his family, including his mother and sister. Victoria Verstappen posted a video of her and their older brother, Max, surfboarding on her Instagram Stories.
However, in a video, she failed to revert the danger after clattering at him and sent him falling backward amid the wave.
Speaking with Dutch radio station Radio 538, Max Verstappen's father Jos informed that he caught with the Red Bull driver at the Amsterdam airport where he picked up his mother and sister, saying:
"I already met him in Amsterdam, because he landed there. He had to drop some people off. Then his mother and his sister, amongst others, got on the plane. It had to be re-fuelled and flew on again.
"I can also tell you that he didn't sleep, [he] stayed awake through until 10:30 am, packed his bags, and flew to Amsterdam. Has to be possible, right?"
Max Verstappen's father provides a grim outlook on a potential fifth title next year
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen's father and former F1 driver Jos Verstappen was unsure if the 27-year-old would challenge for a fifth successive title next year as he believed that the Austrian team had to be improved to be more competitive next year.
Speaking on Verstappen.com, the Dutchman said:
“Nobody can answer that. Of course, we hope that he can, but he’s not in the fastest car, otherwise he would win all the races. Things have to improve to be competitive next year. The team knows what needs to change, so it’s up to them to get it together.”
While giving his take on the Red Bull driver's 2024 title campaign, he added:
“We had a lead, but it all depended on the development of the car. I wasn’t always positive, but Max showed everyone what he’s made off, especially in Brazil. What he did there was unreal and really won him this title.”
With two races to go, Max Verstappen's attention would have shifted toward helping Red Bull get back in the fight for the Constructor's Championship against McLaren and Ferrari as they currently sit in P3 with a deficit of 53 points to McLaren and 29 points to Ferrari.
