CarNext presents: Keeping Up with the Verstappens, ft. David Coulthard - The Day After in Abu Dhabi

First Interview as a World Champion 🏆
Max Verstappen, World Champion Formula 1 2021 sat down together with his dad Jos Verstappen and David Coulthard exclusively for CarNext the day after his historic victory in Abu Dhabi. No Formula 1 fan can afford to miss this unique conversation that captures the first proud moments of Max and Jos as a World Champion - winning father and son combination.
Full of electrifying moments of glory and disappointments, the 2021 season felt like a very intense roller coaster that fans have loved riding. Under the proud eye of his father, Jos, the young champion, opens up with raw honesty. He looks back on a very intense and exhausting season and on the rivalry that pushed him and his Red Bull Racing team to the limit.
Max shares his mindset throughout the season and how the upbringing by Jos brought him to this point. He also opens up about what he does to unwind from racing and how he keeps himself humble and motivated off track.
Jos shares his impressions and his moments of pride. Did you know that the former Formula 1 driver is never as proud of his son as during the Q3 qualifying laps?
Enjoy an intense talk, where we will discuss the season that was, but also of what is coming in the future! To find out more, watch this fascinating interview and discover your new world champion in a new light.
CarNext is proud to be the partner of the World Champion, Max Verstappen.

The big difference between Max and Lewis is in my opinion that Max is pure and when I watch Lewis I’m under the impression that I’m watching an actor. An actor who knows his script. I hope Max remains pure and down to earth, like a normal bloke. 👌🏻

Lewis is a big hypocrite Wants to save the planet, but with 10 gas slurping hypercars in his garage Such a fake ass Max is real

Just my view as well. After watching this interview my opinion of Mr. Max Verstappen is that he is genuine in word and deed. Never get that feeling from Mr. Hamilton. Hamilton strikes me as the opposite : subrepticious, duplicituous.

He was so genuinely humble. I find that introduction he made of himself at the end of the interview was so moving. Any other driver would have said something selfserving, and probably a bit pompous. Despite Mr. Coulthard prompting the young Verstsppen to present himself as world champion he just said about himself "I like to drive in circles and we had a very good day yesterday". It was a genuinely modest view of himself and of his enormous achievement, and a good humored joke on his choosen career. No fake modesty, no calculated or premeditated wording. That transpired through the whole interview. A Great Champion indeed.

Beat Mika twice (who is one of the best drivers of all time) and was strong teammate to young & growing Kimi (also one of the best). Deserved more but had the hardest competition.

He is very charismatic, seems to be genuinely interested and he interacts with his guests, acts on the moment. It's not just his F1 knowledge that enables him to do that, far from it. It helps, definitely, but he's much more than 'just' an ex-racecar driver. I've always liked the guy - as a Dutch man, ever since I was a little kid. Never really thought about why I felt that way about him specifically, but this interview made it very clear to me. His pace, his intonation, gestures, questions.
