Verstappen close to home again: What's the reason for the visit this time?

It is the second time in a short period that Max Verstappen is in the vicinity of his home. Before the Canadian Grand Prix, the Dutchman was in the Netherlands to attend the first birthday of his sister Victoria Verstappen's third child. The little girl was baptized that day.

Monday evening finds Verstappen in the vicinity again. This time not in the Netherlands, but in Belgium. Why is the Dutchman there near Spa-Francorchamps circuit? Will Franz Hermann make another appearence? It is not yet known.

At the same time a major F1 event is taking place, F1: The Movie's premiere is taking place in New York. Verstappen is one of the absentees, having already mentioned in Canada that he preferred spending time with his newborn daughter. Several other F1 drivers have already arrived in the American city.

The end of the Canadian Grand Prix had a notable moment where George Russell suddenly braked hard behind the safety car. While Verstappen spoke of 'aggressive braking' by Russell, the Brit, in turn, said that the Dutchman should receive a penalty for passing under the safety car. Ultimately, Red Bull filed two protests against Russell, but no penalties followed.
