A birthday gift for a young Max Verstappen fan took an unexpected but funny turn at Circuit Zandvoort when the shirt pulled from a green plastic bag turned out to be bright red and covered in Ferrari branding.
Formula 1 had its Dutch Grand Prix fan forum on on the Friday ahead of the sprint weekend, featuring Verstappen and his temporary team-mate Liam Lawson. Both drivers shone in their team colors; blue Oracle Red Bull Racing jackets with Ford Racing branding. It's the outfit's first season with power units built in partnership with Ford. And it's been mildly successful. Although not quite as successful as Ferrari who have been enjoying being the 'best of the rest' team.
The host tells the crowd the child is celebrating his birthday and has brought a shirt for Verstappen to sign. She offers Max a pen, at which point he spots the problem.
"Max Verstappen fan? He's got a Ferrari shirt!" Verstappen laughs.
The host looks playfully mortified. "There is no way that he's a Max fan! Come on! I should've checked, sorry."
