The three-time🀅 F1 champion, who dominated the sport this year, has never hid his dim view of the glitz and the glamour that has increasingly become a part of race ๊weekends.

Verstappen initially refused to partake in Netflix’s ‘Drive To Survive’, such was his wish to remain out𓂃 of the limelight.

And even as Brad Pitt and the Lewis Hamilton-produced F1 film came to Silverstone earlier this year, Verstappen admitted “I can’t be꧟ bothered”.

Verstappen has now told : “I have no desire to be ab💃le to hang out with famous 𓃲movie stars.”

He said about the Net🔯flix show which gave F1 a new fan-base: “I don’t need to watch i꧅t because I know what happens.

“I’m also no💝t very interested to hear from our neighbors how they saw their season.

"I know my side of the story. For me, ♈that’s enough.” 

Verstappen♊ also noted his weariness at increased marketing responsibilities, and how they make effect his longevity as a driver: “I would just keep in mind that the actual sport comes first, instead of the show.

“That, for me, is very impor🎐tant, and that eventually will also decide if I stay or notꦉ.” 

Helmut Marko❀ admitted Red Bull must be wary of overloading Verstappen:&nbsౠp;“He doesn’t like doing it.

“I want to have a relaxed and happy Max. Maybe some l♋ess sponsors.”

That attitude led꧟ Barton Crockett, senior r♍esearch analyst for Rosenblatt Securities who covers F1 owners Liberty Media, to say: “As great as Verstappen is, right now he looks like the biggest risk to the business.”

F1 has targeted the USA ever since Liberty Media to💞ok over.

The American owners posted $2.57 ꧙billion in revenue in 2022, a 44% increase from 2017.

The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix was another major 🌠step to embracing interest from the USA.

But🐓, the best driver in the sport currently has little interest in the celebrity aspect 🔜of F1.
