Max Verstappen is one of the most popular and highest-earning drivers on the grid at the moment. Despite all the popularity and the riches, he keeps a low profile. No flashy outfits or jewelry, just standard team gear with a pair of jeans to the track every race weekend. However, there are two areas where the three-time World Champion likes to spend his hard-earned money. His gaming set-up and cars.
In fact, Verstappen’s car collection is so eye-catching that after the latest revelation, fans completely ignored a ‘PDA’ (Public Display of Affection) moment with his girlfriend Kelly Piquet.
Piquet and Verstappen’s relationship isn’t a secret by any means. But both steer clear of PDA. Still, ahead of the Spanish GP, the Brazilian model posted a photo of the two kissing on Instagram. While it was an adorable picture, what most noticed was Verstappen’s $200k beast in the background.
The car in question is the Dutchman’s Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It is the same car, whose older version Verstappen bought when he first joined Red Bull in 2016- the GTS2. However, he sold the latter to make way for the new car.
