Sebastian Vettel had the image of an arrogant driver and a bad boy during his days at Red Bull. However, when he moved ships in 2014, we started seeing a different side of him as he turned out to be the humblest driver on the grid. Are we going to see the same with Max Verstappen? The 2X world champion was caught fanboying over a famous personality in the paddock as 4 heartwarming Tweets from 2014 give fans hope of seeing a humble and kind version of Max Verstappen while also leaving them in a state of shock.
Max Verstappen is commonly known as the cold and aggressive driver who’ll do anything to win a race. Back in 2021, when the Dutchman won his first championship, he was overly fierce to Lewis Hamilton and treated him differently. Hamilton had a lot to lose at that time and always left the agitated Verstappen space. Also, when he refused to let Sergio Perez through at the 2022 Brazilian GP after all that Checo had done for Max in 2021.
A recent example of this arrogant nature is when Max Verstappen had a brawl with George Russell after the Miami Sprint race. The current championship leader called Russell a “d*ckhead” when he was coming to apologize for causing damage to his car. While many believe it’s the harsh upbringing of Verstappen that made him the way he is, a recent Tweet revealed a different side of the Red Bull driver, which made people think that Red Bull’s toxic environment made him like this.

In the Tweet posted by @mon_ca3 on Twitter, screenshots of Max Verstappen’s 4 adorable Tweets from 2014 to 2015 are uploaded. The caption to the Tweet is “Here’s your reminder that teenage Max was a Susie Wolff fan :)”. The 25-year-old is seen fanboying over Toto Wolff’s wife as he wishes Susie Wolff her birthday, prior to an FP1 session, and is seen replying to her Tweets. The tone of the Tweet is not very Max Verstappen-like, and there is a constant use of smiley emojis.
The fans were sent into a shock, albeit a good one, when they saw this side of Max Verstappen existed. The 2014-15 time was when he started racing for Toro Rosso and had not gotten into Red Bull’s main team yet. With Red Bull being infamous for not treating their drivers very kindly, many people now suggest that Red Bull changed Max Verstappen a lot since 2014. Let’s see how the fans reacted to these wholesome screenshots.
