Not everything is Formula 1 for Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver has other interests and hobbies, among which football stands out, as he made clear in an interview with DAZN.
“I like soccer. My favorite team in Holland is PSV Eindhoven, but let’s say, internationally, it’s FC Barcelona“assured the leader of the Formula 1 World Championship, who has played the title with Lewis Hamilton in the last three races.
On the arrival of Xavi to the Barcelona bench, the Dutch has opposite feelings.
“Xavi is fantastic, although of course I feel sad for Ronald Koeman. He is Dutch, he had to go and he was also a club legend, but you know that the club is in a difficult situation. This gives young people a great opportunity to grow and be successful.“he opined.
In addition, he made it clear that he feels great expectation to see how the team evolves with the Terrassa coach. “I am eager to see what happens“.
On his rivalry with Lewis Hamilton, Verstappen considered that “it benefits Formula 1”. “I think it is normal when he is between two teams. Of course, both try to make it more difficult for the rival. And that’s why I think that all this is a natural process seen in the past, nothing new after all. As a driver, the important thing is to focus on the track and that’s what I’m doing ”he added.
What is clear is that the 2021 world champion will be a Barça fan, since Lewis Hamilton has also shown his passion for the Barça colors on more than one occasion.
On the other side of the scale are the two Spanish drivers of the championship. Both Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz are recognized followers of Real Madrid and they do not waste the opportunity to show it whenever they can.
