Max Verstappen just can’t stay away from racing: the Dutch driver was sim racing while the others were attending the premiere of the new F1 movie!
While the highly anticipated premiere of the “F1” movie was taking place in Monaco, with drivers walking the red carpet in style, Max Verstappen once again chose his own path. The three-time World Champion apparently skipped the event, opting instead for a Twitch livestream on the well-known “Team Redline” channel.
Joined by other sim drivers, including Italy’s Enzo Bonito, Max raced under the username “FranzHermann69” – his now-iconic alter ego used for stealth runs at the Nürburgring, where he famously set a lap record.

Dressed casually and sporting a brand-new hot pink steering wheel, Verstappen drew in thousands of viewers online, ironically becoming the true star of the night… even more than the movie itself.
His unconventional style never fails to spark conversation – and smiles. While “Hollywood” (or this time, the Principality) calls, Max remains true to himself and to sim racing, a passion he’s pursued for years.
