This is where drivers like Max Verstappen deserve our ultimate respect. The Dutchman is a mentality monster and nothing and nobody can shake his determination to win. He is proving this over and over again. How? He has won three championships back to back. During his run, he has also become the driver with the most wins in a season, the most consecutive wins and the fastest to 50 race wins in the sport’s history. The Red Bull man isn’t oblivious to his achievements. On the back of that, he destroyed the American fans with a boastful claim after the 2023 US GP.

However, what made the Dutchman silence the loud American fans after the weekend in Austin? Let us tell you in detail.

Mentality monster Max Verstappen destroys American fans after the US GP with a boastful claim

There was a set of fans that did not fancy the Dutchman, and they made themselves heard. Boos could be heard echoing on COTA during Verstappen’s on-track interview. Verstappen isn’t a stranger to such disrespectful receptions, and he showcased his nonchalance toward it with a brutally honest claim that surely silenced the booing fans.

When asked if the boos bother him, Verstappen boastfully said, “No, in the end, I’m the one that goes home with the trophy. Fine by me!”

In fact, the Dutchman thought one step ahead and made a statement for the hostile fans waiting for him in Mexico as well. When asked, “So if it’s 10x worse next week, and you win it..?” Verstappen replied, “Then I’ll still go home with the trophy! So that’s totally fine!”

We will need to take a trip down memory lane for this incident. During the 2022 Hungarian GP, the Verstappen’s Orange Army traveled in numbers. The big herd of Verstappen fans made themselves heard to showcase their obvious resentment toward Lewis Hamilton following up after the intense 2021 season.

However, the passionate fans took it a step too far and started burning Mercedes merchandise on top of the innocuous booing. This expression by fire was condemned by Verstappen.

Verstappen said, “These individuals, I definitely don’t agree with that because that’s just disgusting. That video of burning merch, I think that’s disgusting.” 

“Overall, I think the majority of the fans were cheering a lot, I think, throughout the race, and also on the podium, for every driver. I think that’s how it should be,” he added.
