Beaumont is a well-known communication skills coach who helps people with their conversations, interviews, etc. He reviews Verstappen’s interview post-Abu Dhabi GP when he clinched his maiden F1 championship.

He also calls Max “a pragmatic realistic dude”. He said, I’m just getting a real genuine vibe from this guy when he says things. It doesn’t feel like he’s trying to come across as being humble, it sounds like he is being genuine and I can see a lot of people cheering for this guy”.

One fan commented, 

He really is a ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of guy. I love his motivation and determination, he also lives a pretty private life outside of F1 which adds to his down to earth character I think (besides being rich
)”
