In his spare time, Max Verstappen indulges in sim racing and games like FIFA and Call of Duty. That virtual world is completely new to his father, Jos Verstappen, who learns more about his son's hobby in the documentary Max VerstappenOff the Beaten Track.

Max Verstappen tells Jos about his hobby

The documentary features a clip of Max and Jos sitting in the back of a car ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. During the chat, Max tells his father about games like Call of Duty, which are a way of letting off steam for him. "I can swear a lot at that," the Red Bull Racing driver says when Jos asks about it.
Then the three-time world champion shows Jos something on his phone. "Who is that?", asks Jos, who looks at the screen in amazement. "That's my Call of Duty character," Max replies, to which Jos says: "Well, that looks good!"
After this, Verstappen also shows the character to the camera, but he soon realises that this also reveals his online name. "You have to blur that name out," says the Formula 1 World Championship leader. Showing his name in the game to Jos, Verstappen sr. has to zoom in for a moment because he can't read it. "That looks great," reads the verdict once he has taken note of his son's nickname.
