Ruthless On-Track Assassin Max Verstappen Lets Slip Bizarre Fears Off It: “I Don’t Mind the Small Spiders, but…”

When we hear Max Verstappen‘s name, the phrase “fearless” comes to mind immediately. Max Verstappen has created the image that he is fearless among everyone because of his aggressive on-track behavior throughout his seven-year career. However, when things veered off course, the Red Bull legend actually revealed his life’s fragile side in a CNN interview.

He has, however, also exhibited some ruthless behavior on the track as he has progressed in his fantastic career. For a brief example, consider his recent collision with seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton during the Brazilian Grand Prix. To recall another horrifying incident, contemplate the 2017 race in Azerbaijan, where Verstappen crashed into Daniel Ricciardo while attempting to pass him, preventing the team from finishing the race and earning points.

Considering everything, we might conclude that the ruthless Verstappen only had one goal, and that was to win. However, the 25-year-old is still a person, and he might have a particular weakness in relation to his off-track activities. When the Red Bull car was unveiled in New York City, Verstappen revealed in a conversation with Carolyn Manno of CNN Sport, ” I don’t mind the small spiders, but like the big hairy ones … [and] snakes, I really don’t like! Luckily, where I live in Monaco, it’s not too bad.”

The 25-year-old often makes us wonder what makes him so competitive and how his adrenaline rush drives him to his breaking point. You don’t need to worry, as the man himself has disclosed the true cause.

Max Verstappen discusses having a fearless mindset

The credit for Max Verstappen’s success in motorsport must go to his father, Jos Verstappen, who has spent a million dollars and made countless sacrifices to produce the man Verstappen is today. With the help of his father, Max became a wonder boy who made his debut at the age of 17 and created history. The 17-year-old quickly broke the record for the youngest player to score a point and afterward claimed the title of the youngest race victor.

However, during the entire process, Jos Verstappen hasn’t been kind to his son, which has contributed to the fact that Verstappen has two world titles under his belt Talking about the mentality, Verstappen said, “I think it’s just in general, the mentality we have in the family. How I grew up as a little kid and spending so much time with my dad going to all the racetracks. So I guess a lot of these kind of things always have to do with how you are brought up.”
