Max Verstappen never liked the media. He never pretended to, either. Blunt, private, and unbothered by public opinion, Max built a reputation that painted him as cold and arrogant-especially after the 2021 World Drivers' Championship, which fans claimed he "stole" from Lewis Hamilton. He didn't care. He didn't need to be liked. The media's villain narrative, fueled by Drive to Survive, only made it worse-portraying him as rude and emotionless. In truth, Max just hated faking it for the cameras.What the world didn't know was that behind the headlines and hate, he had built a quiet life with a man he loved. A man who never asked for trophies-only time.
