Max Verstappen, aside from being a big fan of motorsport in general, is also an avid football fan. The Dutchman himself supports PSV, but also knows a lot about international competitions. He demonstrated this on the Instagram account of Red Bull Racing.
The question was: "Who's going to win the Premier League this season?" The four-time Formula 1 world champion answered this question with some certainty. "Liverpool," he said. However, Verstappen does not believe that the top scorer of the competition will come from this club. He expects Manchester City player Erling Haaland to score the most goals.
The Premier League season kicked off last weekend. This year, we see many Dutchmen in action at Liverpool. Coach Arne Slot won the English football competition with 'The Reds' last season. In addition to the coach, many of the players are Dutch. Defender Virgil van Dijk is the captain of the team, and Oranje internationals Cody Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch, and Jeremie Frimpong also play for the English team.

During the summer holidays, Verstappen shared a photo of a meeting with the Liverpool captain. Besides Van Dijk, he was also seen with his friend Martin Garrix. A video was also released earlier in which the Red Bull Racing driver was allowed to put together a Premier League team. In it, he also praised the Dutch defender.
Furthermore, Verstappen is focusing on his family during the summer break. He shared an update about his holiday on his superyacht. His partner, Kelly Piquet, also posted photos of their trip a few days earlier.
