First and foremost, I would want to express my profound gratitude to the entire Red Bull company. From the start of my adventure, you believed in me, supported me, and stuck by my side through thick and thin. Your unfailing belief in my ability has been nothing short of inspirational. In times of triumph and hardship, you have been my rock and guiding light. For this, I am eternally grateful.
To my great fans, words cannot express how grateful I am for your constant support. Your passion, energy, and unwavering enthusiasm motivate my desire to push the limits and strive for excellence. Whether I’m racing on the track or dealing with life’s issues off it, knowing that I have such a strong support system behind me gives me unrivalled strength.
But, beyond the victories and podium finishes, there is something much deeper that bonds us together: our shared humanity. Yes, I am a Formula One driver, but most importantly, I am a human. I make mistakes, confront problems, and have times of doubt and uncertainty. And it is in these moments that your support shines the brightest. Your empathy, understanding, and steadfast belief in me as a person are the most important.
I am also really grateful for the atmosphere that Red Bull has created for me to grow, not only as a driver, but as a person. The possibilities for learning, the culture of creativity, and the spirit of camaraderie have all helped form me into the person I am today. And I shall be forever grateful.
As I look ahead to the difficulties and opportunities that await me, I am filled with optimism and excitement. With your ongoing support and encouragement, there is no limit to what we may accomplish.
So, thank you to everyone who has taken part in this fantastic experience. Thank you for believing in me, supporting me, and being the driving force behind my aspirations.
With sincere gratitude,
Max Verstappen
