“Completely F*cked Me Up”: Lando Norris Once Put Max Verstappen Face to Face With His Popularity and the Champ Just Wasn’t Having It

Many of the modern F1 drivers just tend to chill out in the off-season. They may not go partying or on a vacation to the Caribbean. They would rather stream while gaming at home. One of the popular drivers who stream often is Lando Norris. And when he streamed with Max Verstappen once, they blasted some good tunes together.

Lando Norris was streaming and playing some casual games when he had Max Verstappen for company as a viewer. While they were chatting, Norris came across the song from Pitstop Boys – Super Max! As everyone will know, it is a song Max’s fans created as a tribute to him.

Lando played the song live on the stream as they were discovering it for the first time. After listening to the whole song, both had quite some comments to make.

Norris said, “That [song] has got me right in the mood.”

On this Max said, “For me, that song completely f*cked me up.” Max’s reaction shows how he doesn’t like the fact that his immense popularity had gotten him his own song.

Meanwhile, Lando was completely hooked to the track. He said, “Freaking should be Dutch #1 song. I bet once you have had a few drinks right? End of season party, you have had a few drinks and you put this song on. Everyone will go crazy.“

Though Max reluctantly agreed to Lando’s suggestion, no one knows if they played it at any end-of-season parties yet.

The Dutch fans have been amazing with the sort of reception seen at the Dutch GP in the last 2 years. Now that Verstappen is a world champion, it’s just here to stay and grow.

How Max Verstappen got the Dutch GP back in F1

F1 had not raced at Zandvoort in the Netherlands for more than 3 decades. Besides an old-school iconic track with banked corners, the Dutch GP had a huge factor to offer on its F1 return – the growing Dutch fanbase.

Since Max Verstappen entered F1, the Dutch fanbase has grown exponentially. And now that he has become the first Dutch driver to be a world champion, the sky is the limit for Dutch fans’ enthusiasm.

While there were talks of bringing Zandvoort back to the calendar in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had other ideas about it. With no crowds, the Dutch GP organizers were not willing to host F1 in 2020. Thus, they shifted the race to the next season.

Finally, they hosted the race in 2021. The fans were delirious seeing their home hero Verstappen taking the chequered flag and winning his home GP, despite Mercedes throwing everything at him.

As it was the first F1 race in the country since 1985, everyone was excited to return to Zandvoort. But even in 2022, the race had a chaotic finish, with Max winning again.
