Max Verstappen has playfully repurposed his 2023 Formula 1 drivers’ championship trophy, using it as a holder for Christmas cards in a recent social media post. Verstappen’s dominance in the 2023 season was evident, with 19 wins out of 22 races, showcasing his exceptional performance even in one of the most dominant cars in F1 history. The comparison with his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez, who faced relative struggles in the same car, emphasizes Verstappen’s outstanding achievements. As Verstappen adds another championship trophy to his collection, the challenge of finding suitable places for these sizable awards becomes apparent.
During a recent stream, keen-eyed viewers noticed the championship trophy fulfilling a rather simple yet festive role – supporting a Christmas card on a cluttered table, accompanied by a Red Bull-themed drinks fridge. While the whereabouts of the other two trophies remain uncertain, the playful repurposing of the latest addition adds a touch of humor to Verstappen’s collection. It sparks imaginative scenarios of the trophies potentially being used to hang stockings above a fireplace, waiting for Santa Claus to make his annual visit.
