Max Verstappen not completely satisfied after the Friday sessions in Qatar. While he believes he got the maximum out of the RB20, he underlined his problems with the balance. Fortunately, the Dutchman's family is present at the Losail International Circuit to support him.
In Las Vegas, Max Verstappen managed to win his fourth world title. The Dutchman shared he celebrated his championship victory with a group including Martin Garrix, who helped to throw a party together for him late at night. His family was not present in the US.
In Qatar, that's a different story. Both Sophie Kumpen, his mother, and Victoria Verstappen, his sister, are present in the F1 paddock. Just after qualifying for the sprint race, his mother posted the picture of the three on Instagram.
