Max Verstappen is a man with many hobbies and interests. His most famous endeavor is obviously sim-racing, where he is part of Team Redline and competes professionally. But his other, lesser-known hobby is car collecting. And with the addition of his most recent purchase, it is going to get even more spectacular than it already is.
According to a clip going viral over social media, the Dutchman has recently bought the iconic Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano, which is estimated to be worth around $725,000! And with a price as high as this SF90, comes features that are overkill for a road car.

With an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ferrari SF90’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors deliver a combined 986 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque to all four wheels. Due to this, the hybrid supercar can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, from 0 to 124 mph in 6.7 seconds, and can go as fast as 211 mph, according to Car Buzz.

The Red Bull driver driving a Ferrari had the fans going crazy. Many even asked the team to bring Max and let go of Charles! Jokes apart, one thing that does and will stand the test of time is Sebastian Vettel’s statement, “Everyone is a Ferrari fan. Even if they say they’re not, they are Ferrari fans.”

Max is surely a car enthusiast, well beyond the rivalries on track. He doesn’t shy away from making statements. And this one, while not a statement, is surely an expression of respect and love for Ferrari.
