Max Verstappen invites kid with disability to Red Bull paddock at 2022 British Grand Prix

Red Bull and Max Verstappen won the hearts of F1 fans all over after they granted the wish of a kid with disability. 

Steven is a young kid living in the UK, who suffers from muscle wasting disorder. In spite of his disability, he’s a fighter and a huge fan of 2021 World Champion Verstappen.

Young Steven owns lots of Red Bull and Verstappen merch, but it was his lifelong dream to meet his hero. The Genies Wish is an organization that helps people with terminal or critical illness, realize their dreams and wishes. Earlier this week, they managed to grant Steven’s wish.

WE DID IT… Max Verstappen is meeting Steven this weekend!!

Thank you so much to @redbullracing and to all who helped make this happen by sharing and tagging the posts. We are over the moon for Steven and his family.
