Verstappen compares own documentary with Netflix: 'I don't like all those cameras'

Max Verstappen's documentary series 'Whatever It Takes' premiered last week. The documentary, in which fans can take a look behind the scenes at the life of the Dutchman, was first shown on television at Ziggo Sport last Friday, but a select group was already allowed to talk about the series with Verstappen.
In a Q&A session, the Dutchman further discussed the premiere of the series about the life of the Dutchman. "Of course there are sometimes moments where you have trouble with it, you know of course that you do it for the documentary, but I'm not normally someone who likes to have cameras around. For example, during certain F1 weekends Netflix often walked along. I don't like that," explains Verstappen.
Footage removed from documentary?
It's not just the younger Verstappen who sometimes has trouble with a camera walking around. "My father has had that too," Verstappen explains. The cameras were often close to Jos Verstappen, as can also be seen in the documentary series.
"There have been a few shots of which we thought: 'Maybe it's better not to broadcast this. At a later time when you are no longer driving Formula 1.'" Overall, Verstappen is satisfied with the footage that came in the documentary. "Of course it has to remain authentic and you have to be able to see that this is the real Max. The point is that you also enjoy life, so you're not always serious. A victory is beautiful, but you also have to be able to enjoy it off the track," concludes Verstappen.
