However, two notable absences were Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen. While Stroll’s reason for missing the event remains unknown, Verstappen chose to indulge in a streaming session on iRacing with his team RedLine.
The Dutch racing sensation, Verstappen, made his virtual appearance under the alias ‘Franz Hermann’ for a collective test session at the Nurburgring on iRacing. Despite missing the glitz and glamour of the movie premiere, Verstappen showcased a new pinkish-fuchsia steering wheel, possibly dedicated to his newborn daughter, Lily, with his partner Kelly Piquet.
The exclusive event in Monaco brought together F1 drivers to enjoy a sneak peek of the highly anticipated F1 movie, creating a buzz among fans and the racing community. While Verstappen’s virtual racing choice raised eyebrows, it highlighted his dedication to staying sharp and connected to the racing world even off the track.
The absence of Stroll and Verstappen added an element of intrigue to the evening, leaving fans speculating about their priorities and interests outside the traditional F1 circuit. As the F1 movie generates excitement among fans worldwide, the drivers’ diverse activities off-track only serve to enhance their mystique and keep fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next twist in their racing journeys.
