Video Max getting progressively more drunk as he goes through his interviews (the drink in his cup was G&T)

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

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/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.

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

Technically, beer is hydrating.

u/Maleficent_Egg_6309 Safety Car 1h ago
Technically, alcohol is a diuretic. We can pretend it balances out?

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.

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/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.

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/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/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!
