Max Verstappen and his World championship-winning season of 2021 will forever be etched in F1 history. The dramatic, nail-biting, last-lap win over Lewis Hamilton concluded probably the most dramatic season of the past decade.

However, if the 2021 season ever hits the big screen, Max has a favorite for who should play him in the movie.

Max Verstappen movie star

The 2021 F1 season was one of the most exciting seasons in recent history. The drama continued till the very last lap of the last race. Max Verstappen in the end, pipped Lewis Hamilton to the world championship.

The never seen circumstances of the said race resulted in huge drama from both Red Bull and Mercedes bosses. The race witnessed Christian Horner and Toto Wolff of Red Bull and Mercedes, respectively, constantly in contact with the stewards.

In the end, however, we know how the story ends. And while discussing the idea of the season being picked up for a movie, Max made his feelings known. The world champion while in conversation with F1Maximaal.nl disclosed “If the title fight is made into a film, I would like to be played by DiCaprio.”

But Max further added that he’s not a big fan of the idea. He added, “I hope that never happens. I don’t need that.” Although, the idea of a movie coming to fruition is highly unlikely, we can always hope.

New Season, new hopes!

After last season’s triumph, the ambitions of Red Bull and Max have only risen. The Red Bulls are looking extremely quick on the track. After the disastrous first race, the Red Bull team bounced back and finished on a high with P1 and P4 at the Saudi Arabian GP. It was an unlucky race for Sergio Perez as he started on pole but finished 4th but virtually swapped positions with his teammate.

Mercedes, with their record-breaking eight consecutive constructors’ championship title, would’ve wanted an eight for Lewis as well. However, they would look to go the distance this year given they come up with a swift response to all the challenges being faced by the team at the moment.

Last but not the least, Ferrari would like to stake a claim at both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships this season. Going through a draught for past few seasons, Ferrari would love to take advantage of the fact they have the best car on the grid right now.

Will we see Ferrari break the pattern of dominance from Mercedes and Red Bull or will history repeat itself? If this season turns out, even fractionally, as well as the last, we’re in for a treat!
