Max Verstappen’s dominant second title in 2022 not only solidified his name as a champion but also proves to be good for ad space on the Red Bull car. Increasing his worth as an athlete, the Dutch Lion has pulled in many major sponsors, more recently with E-sports top dog EA Sports. Now, another multi-billion dollar company wants its name associated with the next big thing of F1.
Heineken has now found a spot on Verstappen’s long sponsorship list. The celebration of the Dutch icons joining hands soon took over the internet as “incredibly proud” Verstappen announced the collaboration on his social media platforms. Sitting behind the desk of the legend himself, Freddy Heineken, the Golden Boy of Red Bull made a promise: “More coming (soon)”
With big names like TAG Heuer, Ziggo Sport, ViaPlay, and Car Next accompanying the #1 on his team kit, the Heineken deal will surely act as a mega bonus for the driver. Further, it plays into his off-track hobbies as well. The champ commented, “being an avid gamer and passionate Sim Racer myself, I’m thrilled to be playing a part in the new gaming initiative being developed called Player 0.0.”
As the 24-year-old ambassador is excited about his latest partnership, the emotions permeate through the F1 community as well.
