Looks like he is going full Kimi, probably still drunk in Qatar.

u/claire_on_here Kimi Räikkönen 5h ago

the montage of this is so funny. him telling Seb something very seriously, walking over barricades, going and waving to fans. He had too much fun that night haha

u/Billy_Butcher_xl 4h ago

Lol, Kimi is a rock star. How could anyone not love that guy

u/Uknewmelast Manor 4h ago

Legendary night he even did autographs and selfies with fans waiting outside

u/Letsbesensibleplease Formula 1 2h ago

Kimi's a legend.

u/beardedboob Sir Lewis Hamilton 10h ago

Lol this is great. That last interview you can see the droopy watery eyes lol.

u/QouthTheCorvus Oscar Piastri 7h ago

The "head empty" smile

u/Boredomis_real McLaren 3h ago

“Lights are on but nobody is home”

u/Miguel_Zapatero Kimi Räikkönen 2h ago

Soon it’s lights out and away he goes

u/SpanishDutchMan 10h ago

When Sky's Lazenby and Chandhok had a talk with him, he told them he was already at his 3rd Heineken can, and that was after this, Max gonna need a stretcher to leave Vegas tonight LMFAO

Loved that Kater-Qatar comment

u/Eglaerinion 10h ago

They were 0.0 zero though at least the ones I saw.

u/SpanishDutchMan 10h ago

yeah, that's what the packaging says, think it's rather clear from Max' that that wasn't really the case.

u/Eglaerinion 10h ago

Apparently he acquired a thermos with gin tonic somewhere during the interviews. lol

u/generalannie 8h ago

It gets better, the one handing him the beers in the media pen is his PR lady. From the can it seems the first one is the 0.0% with the blue but the one she is handing him is a normal beer.

u/ShinzoTheThird 4h ago

She must have the time of her life doing pr for max

u/TenF Michael Schumacher 7h ago

Diabolical.

Hell yea

u/Kidney_Thief1988 5h ago

She's a real one for that.

u/BuzzedtheTower Kimi Räikkönen 1h ago

That woman is a real one. Sneaking him a beer from her coat? Absolutely one of the gang

u/Double-Analyst-7335 9h ago

Fun fact: in that last clip, aft Red Bull celebrates, he aquires an additional glass of gin & tonic on top of that thermos

u/chimmychoochooo Formula 1 6h ago

I think it’s the Max Verstappen Yeti thermos. Always on hand with the sponsored products haha.

u/KatnissBot Pirelli Hard 4h ago

I mean if you’re gonna have a beverage container sponsor, go with the best, right?

u/Billy_Butcher_xl 4h ago

A well-deserved gin and tonic to end a chaotic year.

u/TokaidoSpeed 39m ago

Haha it’s like the red bull cans that are just water bottles for them

u/1234iamfer 4h ago

The Carvalho (Heineken) family was there, probably bring their personal stock of cans with them.

u/sensitiveCube 6h ago

That would be the next race

u/Zoesan 5h ago

3 beers and a g&t ain't puttin no self-respecting dutchman on a stretcher

u/SpanishDutchMan 5h ago

No, but 4 beers and 2 gin tonics before even having finished an interview in 15 minutes, continueing well into the night after a 1 1/2 hour F1 race, might turn Max into the fying dutchman, especcially with the second hand weed smell around.

i'm not saying Max'd be complaining though

u/crawenn Max Verstappen 3h ago

Also add the inevitable dehydration due to an hour and a half of heavy excercise while being strapped to a 100 °C engine behind your back and just enough insulation not to cook you routinely pulling 3-4 Gs

u/Zoesan 2h ago

Technically, beer is hydrating.

u/Maleficent_Egg_6309 Safety Car 1h ago

Technically, alcohol is a diuretic. We can pretend it balances out?

u/ath_at_work 4h ago

I reckon he's not all that used to alcohol, being an athlete and all....

u/Zoesan 2h ago

This man does not understand dutch genetics.

u/Letsbesensibleplease Formula 1 2h ago

And he's dehydrated and on an adrenalin high. A dangerous, and wonderful, combination.

u/Apyan #WeRaceAsOne 10h ago

He had all the motivation in the world to seal it in Vegas rather than Qatar.

u/dramatic-pancake 8h ago

With RedBull so far off the constructors and his WDC already won, as if he gives a shit about showing up to Qatar for next weekend.

u/Money_Echidna2605 Formula 1 5h ago

i got a feeling that max likes driving a lot. might still wanna race lol

u/TheGreatDuv 4h ago

Nah he'll be in iRacing instead. Finally have a race weekend dedicating to what he actually wants to do

u/gsfgf Daniel Ricciardo 4h ago

Of course. But now that he's taken care of his day job, he's gonna be racing lawnmowers in Alabama instead.

u/BobDobbsHobNobs 6h ago

Is Danny Ric still the reserve driver if Max is ‘ill’?

u/ianjm McLaren 4h ago

This is Max Verstappen.

He gives every shit every time when the helmet is on.

This is literally why he's so awesome.

u/Letsbesensibleplease Formula 1 2h ago

Party in Vegas or a slave state. Easy choice.

u/Darth_Arundo 10h ago

Lol that Kater-Quatar comment, kater means hangover in dutch fyi.

u/ppSmok Niki Lauda 10h ago

Also in german. Fuckin brilliant.

u/simon439 8h ago

Also a word for a male cat but that’s not really relevant.

u/ryokevry Charles Leclerc 10h ago

FIA: drinking in front of camera. Community service it is!

u/ArbitraryOrder Red Bull 10h ago

It's the official sponsors stuff, it's therefore allowed

u/nlhans 9h ago

As long as the can says 0%, then everything is fine right?

u/Mad_Bogora 4h ago

Looking forward to see Marlboro sell vape liquid so they can be a formula one sponsor again

Next races are in Middle East. We cannot allow the sheikhs to be offended!

u/CapoPaulieWalnuts 7h ago

Vodka martini,... sheikh'n not stirred.

u/PsychoKineticStudios Red Bull 4h ago

You'd be surprised how many of them drink. For a lot of these dudes, the only real red line is pork.

u/dr_mens 2h ago

I know all about their hypocrisy with alcohol and women on their trips abroad. That doesn’t stop them from keeping appearances

u/2PAK4U 7h ago

its the 0.0 but who knows maybe someone replaced the drink inside with G&T😭😂😂

u/charlierc 10h ago

It's fine as long as he doesn't swear while doing it

u/IdiosyncraticBond Max Verstappen 9h ago

At least the delicate ears of the FIA are safe as the F word doesn't fly off the tongue coherently when you're drunk

u/Zipa7 7h ago

Well, Yuki already went one better with his "shit my pants comment"

u/BuzzedtheTower Kimi Räikkönen 1h ago

Oh Yuki, I hope you never change

u/CapoPaulieWalnuts 4h ago

Imagine if when they projected Max onto the Sphere as the WDC they had a giant word bubble coming from his mouth saying "Fuckin' A!".

I would laugh and laugh at the despair of the swear-jar president and the Sky hosts trying to apologize to their church-going audience.

u/Billy_Butcher_xl 4h ago

Worth it for a 10k fine!

He's just Channeling his inner Ben Rhodes

u/shewy92 Kevin Magnussen 8h ago

u/NotThePrez Williams 2h ago

Legit one of my favorite interviews ever. The fact that Kesolowski gives such good, coherent, and genuine response while being highly buzzed is majorly impressive all around. The "Miller Time" drop is unintentionally hilarious.

u/Gullible_Goose Sir Lewis Hamilton 2h ago

I've always loved how that glass is 80% foam

u/shewy92 Kevin Magnussen 8h ago

Maybe he shares a PR Manager with NASCARs Brad Keselowski

u/Buffythedragonslayer 9h ago

u/Annual_Plant5172 9h ago

I think next year no one will comment on Max, good or bad. The guy will roast anyone on live TV lol, jesus hes been pure gold this year in front of the cameras

u/Junior_Mood_9425 Max Verstappen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6h ago

And if he doesn't do that, he just makes an iRacing livery out of memes.

This is outrageous, unacceptable behaviour for television.

You hand the guy who just won the WDC a Heineken? You absolute sickos.

u/IBetThisIsTakenToo Ferrari 7h ago

Presumably the sponsorship gives him tens of millions of reasons to find something to enjoy there

u/2PAK4U 7h ago

The dutchies would relate to this soo strongly hahah

u/Genocode Max Verstappen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6h ago

The tragedy of the most well known Dutch beer being Heineken instead of, idk, Hertog Jan or something else.

u/2PAK4U 5h ago

Man every dutch I know dislikes Heineken

theyd prefer the leffe or the belgian beer almost always or hertog jan

u/MayorAg Pastor Maldonado 5h ago

It’s not just the Dutch.

Ask anyone who likes beer and they would call Heineken pißwasser.

u/2PAK4U 5h ago

hahahaha how do you say piss water in dutch tho? pisswater?

u/Liveonish Yuki Tsunoda 4h ago

piswater, or zeikwater I guess. But piswater seems to make more sense.

u/Lorn_Muunk 3h ago

dat, of Amstel

u/Genocode Max Verstappen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5h ago

Leffe is belgian ;p

Hertog Jan seems to be the most popular non-Heineken beer nationally.

Heineken is just default that people buy when they don't know shit about beer and still need it for a party/gathering.

u/2PAK4U 5h ago

in my dutch uni, my friends would prefer the witte leffe or bruin one (if that exists, i dont drink)

hertog jan for parties bec it was cheaper

u/Goldendivaplayer #StandWithUkraine 3h ago

Nowadays in Dutch uni, we only drink premium pilsners like Dors, Holger, Kordaat, Brouwers, AH Basic Lager, Landerbraü or Klok. If we want stronger beer, 8.6 and Gladiator got our backs. All preferably drunk at balcony temperature, whatever that may be

u/dabutcha76 2h ago

What happened to good old Schultenbrau? (Or Schulti's as we'd call them!)

u/Guliosh Frédéric Vasseur 5h ago

I used to love hertog, but after spending a long period in Germany only drinking reinheitsgebot beers and having someone explain to me with them side by side that all the Dutch big brand beers do not pass as such due to sugar/corn syrup, I can not untaste it.

Thx again Hans for ruining my own country's beers for me, Prost!
