- Savannah Lenz
In the true gift of giving, Max Verstappen has received several Christmas presents. One of the gifts he received was given to him before the holidays started. He received a full range of children's chocolates.
In the run-up to Christmas, Verstappen received gifts from his Formula 1 team, Red Bull Racing, and from Viaplay. From Red Bull Racing, his team put together gifts that referred to moments throughout the season. From Viaplay, he received presents during the Simply Lovely interview.
Verstappen gets the ideal Christmas present
What is Verstappen's ideal Christmas present? Well, it turns out that the Dutchman has a soft spot for chocolate, especially the one from the brand Kinder.
"This always works out, yes. But those also run out within half an hour," Verstappen said as he unwrapped his present. "I just really like Kinder chocolate, and it doesn't really matter that much which version it is."
Verstappen is not the only F1 driver who likes kinder chocolate as McLaren driver Lando Norris also enjoys them. Verstappen jokes, "Maybe I should talk to them; I could be a good ambassador." He said, "I won't eat them now because I'm a bit heavier this weekend anyway, I think."
Still joking, he said there would be one benefit to the added weight. "Then we have a bit more traction out of the corner." Verstappen continued, "But this is totally top-notch; this is definitely going to be on this weekend. I'm just going to put this on my table in my hospitality and then I can eat a little bit of that every day." Verstappen then mentioned his physiotherapist, who happened to be behind the scenes at the interview. "Who doesn't like that, but he has nothing to say on that."
