Over the last few years, celebrities have become an integral part of the Formula 1 grid. This was also the case in Hungary, where several celebrities were present. Max Verstappen, of course, has the support of 'The Orange-army', but he had at least one major fan in Hungary, as can be seen from images circulating on social media.
In an interview with ESPN in the pit lane, Axl Rose, singer and founder of the band Guns ‘n Roses, was asked who he supports in Formula 1.
Rose, who is good friends with former F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen, picked his favourite from the current grid. His answer was clear: "I root for Max. But I want to see a good race."
