After a mediocre start to the season this year, Max Verstappen excelled during the latter half of the 2022 campaign. The Dutchman will forever be remembered for winning 15 races this year, which broke the previous record for most victories in a calendar year. Thanks to his strong performance, Red Bull won the constructor’s championship for the first time after nine years.
The team held a celebratory event in Milton Keynes to honour the record-breaking year. Around 30000 people watched the Dutchman and Sergio Perez show the team’s RB7, a 2011 model driven by reigning champion Sebastian Vettel. The gathering was enjoyable up until the fans spotted Max Verstappen’s comical attire.

In the event, Verstappen’s attire perplexed the fans because he was discovered donning fluorescent headgear and clear goggles, which drew trolls to him.
Some fans have even questioned why the two-time champion appears to be a minion. The Red Bull driver’s bizarre clothing has received funny responses from Twitter F1 users.

But this time, when Max Verstappen arrived at the Red Bull factory in Milton Keynes, his outfit experiment was ridiculed.
Given below are some of the hilarious reactions by the Twitter F1 fans.
