Danish racing driver Michelle Gatting raced for many years with Max Verstappen
December 05, 2021
Max is a bit younger than me and he was always on the track with his dad. You knew who his father was and also which way Max wanted to go. But he was a fantastic racing driver even back then.
We were very close in the younger years. He was kind of an annoying little brother with braces all over his mouth who was always happy. But he was also always focused and very smiley.
When I, after winning the European Championship, told the team that I had just received a message from Max, they were like 'no, let's see'. And then I had to show them the message. He was happy for me.
I think that's why he has so many fans around the world. It's great that you can say that the hopefully future Formula 1 world champion still keeps up with the people from his former life.

omggg, thank you anon!! I am very new to WEC but I indeed want to try to follow what the Iron Dames & Team WRT (with Vale) are doing, I’m obsessed with this photo as well, they’re all so cute.
iron.dames: We believe that today not many words are needed...
P4 still gives us our best @24heuresdumans finish, and we are proud of the incredible dedication of everyone on our team.
Starting outside the Top 10 to leading the race and battling for the win inside the Top 3 just shows the effort we’ve all put into this race.
This might not be a victory, but how the team managed the race itself signifies more than a trophy or a title: it exemplifies the profound team spirit of never giving up.
