Max Verstappen, the daring Formula 1 champion, has made a bold statement defending his ally Daniel Ricciardo’s alter ego, Frank Hermann. The four-time F1 world champion recently made headlines when he adopted the pseudonym Franz Hermann during a test drive at the Nordschleife track in a GT3 car. Verstappen, known for his fearless driving on the track, surprised the motorsport world by setting a new lap record at the Nurburgring, showcasing his exceptional skills beyond F1 racing.

During a sim racing gaming stream, Verstappen fiercely defended Ricciardo’s secret identity, urging everyone to “leave him alone” as his friend was busy in Australia. The Dutchman’s protective stance towards Ricciardo’s playful persona of Frank Hermann demonstrates the camaraderie and loyalty among F1 drivers, even off the track.

Verstappen’s impressive performance at the Nordschleife led to speculations about his potential participation in the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS). However, his achievements faced skepticism from DTM racer Maro Engel, who attempted to downplay Verstappen’s record-setting lap time. Verstappen, in response to the criticism, expressed his frustration over what he deemed a “stupid comment” by Engel, emphasizing that his primary goal was to enjoy the experience and learn from it.

The exchange between Verstappen and Ricciardo, revolving around their humorous alter egos, adds a lighthearted touch to the competitive world of Formula 1. Despite the intensity of racing rivalries, moments like these highlight the camaraderie and mutual respect shared among drivers in the high-stakes world of motorsport.

As Verstappen continues to dominate the F1 circuit with his exceptional talent and fearless driving, his recent defense of Ricciardo’s alter ego showcases a different side of the champion – one that values friendship and camaraderie amidst the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula 1.
