Not only famous for his spectacular victories on the racetrack, Max Verstappen is also known by the nickname “Mad Max” – a symbol of recklessness, daring and uncompromising.

The nickname dates back to his early years in F1, when Verstappen would often perform “impossible” overtakes in tight corners, even when other drivers were wary. This style of racing divided fans, with some praising his courage, while others criticized him for being unsafe and reckless.

Over time, however, Verstappen has proven that “Mad Max” is more than just a whim – it’s a driving genius. He knows when to attack and when to defend, and has turned the once-controversial nickname into a personal symbol – an integral part of the Verstappen brand.

Today, “Mad Max” is no longer simply a nickname, but an expression of a fiery, uncompromising racing style and a thirst for victory that has made him one of the most formidable racers in the world.
