“I was 18, innocent, a virgin. I’m still a virgin,” said Max Verstappen in a behind-the-scenes video that was filmed by Red Bull during the 2022 Belgian GP. While this statement which was perhaps a bit out of context sent the F1 world into a frenzy, there was a fashion disaster that had the same effect on Max himself. In the first-of-its-kind rendezvous with behind the scene fun Q&A session, Verstappen revealed a regret.
Formula 1 always gets drivers together for fun-filled behind-the-scenes activities. While Grill the Grid championship was another exciting run made by the drivers, the official YouTube channel of F1 has now taken a bit of a detour. The F1 world has now taken to a teenage drinking game, just without the drinking part.
After many questions, the drivers arrived at a fashion-oriented one. Where they were asked if they have ever had a bad haircut or rather if they have ever regretted a haircut. Max Verstappen answered, “I have.” The interviewer asked Max, “How bad was it?” To which Max replied saying, “It was very bad. I looked like a Canary.”

While we are on the topic of regrets, what unfolded in Brazil last year may top the charts for Milton Keynes, as the supposed dirty laundry was aired in front of the world. And since then it has just become a favorite bit of juicy bite for the media.

Sergio Perez very recently revealed that the Red Bull duo are not fighting and have a lot of respect for each other as the ‘rumors’ have been blown out of proportion after the radio antics of the drivers. And Dutch driver Michael Bleekemolen agrees that the media has taken full advantage of the situation and blown it out of proportion.
“There is always a battle between two drivers in every team,” he told GPFans NL. “Not only in Formula 1, but everywhere. It is one thing that you have to be faster. I also think that the media is a bit guilty of it. Everything is just thrown together with exciting statements. Phrases are cut out to stick it together differently. Then they suddenly turn into hateful comments towards each other.”
