Max Verstappen – or at least his private jet – flew to Salzburg two days after the Hungarian Grand Prix, where Red Bull’s headquarters are located. What he is going to do there is unclear; however, GPblog can report how long he will stay and what the next destination is. On Tuesday, the flight-tracking information for Verstappen’s plane showed that the aircraft initially flew from its home base in Nice – near Monaco – to Sardinia, where it landed at the airport. The Dutchman’s luxury yacht, named Unleash the Lion, docked there on Sunday afternoon. Who is or was on board the plane or the yacht cannot be confirmed at this time.
Verstappen’s private jet flies to Red Bull headquarters in Salzburg
After a brief stop on the Italian island, the plane took off again and set course for Salzburg. The only thing that can be confirmed about this is that Red Bull’s headquarters are located there. The exact purpose of the visit is therefore unclear, but information from this site indicates that it is a short visit, after which Verstappen’s private jet will fly back to the Mediterranean south coast early in the evening.
In June, Verstappen also paid a visit to Salzburg. There, a
meeting took place between Max Verstappen, his manager Raymond Vermeulen, and Red Bull executives Mark Mateschitz, Oliver Mintzlaff, and Chalerm Yoovidhya. What was discussed during that meeting was never disclosed. That may also be the case for this visit. According to a rumor from the German
Bild, Red Bull would like to offer Verstappen a new deal. Whether that is indeed the case and whether this visit has anything to do with it cannot be determined at this time.
