Reddit上的熱門話題，Max在排位賽後記者會上發表了一段不短的獨白：
"I can go on for a long time, but I feel like of course a kind of show
element is important, but I like emotion,” Verstappen said after qualifying
when asked for his overall assessment of the Las Vegas weekend so far.
Verstappen在排位賽後記者會上被問到關於拉斯維加斯周末截至目前的感想時說到：「我
可以說不完。表演成分很重要，但是我喜歡激情。」
“For me, when I was a little kid it was about the emotion of the sport, what
I fell in love with and not the show of the sport around it because I think
as a real racer, that shouldn’t really matter.
「我小時候讓我愛上這項運動的就是這項運動的激情，而非周遭的表演。我覺得對於賽車
手而言，那些事情根本不重要。」
“First of all a racing car, a Formula 1 car anyway on a street circuit, I
think doesn’t really come alive. It’s not that exciting.
「首先，一輛賽車，或是F1賽車，在街道賽道上沒辦法完全活起來。開起來就是沒那麼令
人興奮。」
“I think it’s more about just proper racetracks. You know, when you go to
Spa, Monza, these kind of places, they have a lot of emotion and passion.
「適當的賽道才是重點。當你去Spa或Monza，你可以感受到這些賽道有非常多的『激情』
跟『熱情』。」
“And for me, seeing the fans there is incredible and for us as well, when I
jump in the car there, I’m fired up and I love driving around these kinds of
places.
「同時對我來說，能看到那些車迷也讓我覺得不可思議。當我坐進車內，我會被激起熱情
，讓我喜歡在那些地方開車。」
“Of course, I understand that fans need maybe something to do as well around
the track, but I think it’s more important that you actually make them
understand what we do a sport because most of them just come to have a party,
drink, see a DJ play or a performance act.
「當然我了解車迷在賽道還是得做些其他東西，但我覺得比較重要的是讓他們了解我們在
這項運動到底在幹什麼，因為他們(可能指某些車迷)來只是來派對、看DJ放音樂或看表演
而已。」
“I can do that all over the world. I can go to Ibiza and get completely
sh*tfaced and have a good time.
「我要做這些事情去哪都可以做。我可以去Ibiza，把自己弄到完全ㄎㄧㄤ掉然後玩得很
開
心。」
“But that’s what happens and actually people, they come, and they become a
fan of what? They want to see maybe their favourite artist and have a few
drinks with their mates and then go out and have a crazy night out.
「但這發生在這裡(LVGP)，人們過來是變成什麼東西的粉絲？他們可能是來看最喜歡的藝
人，跟伴侶喝幾杯酒然後度過一個瘋狂的夜晚。」
“But they don’t actually understand what we are doing and what we are
putting on the line to perform.
「但他們沒有真正了解我們在幹什麼，也沒有了解我們呈現出來的表演是什麼。」
“And I think if you would actually invest more time into the actual sport,
what we’re actually trying to achieve here, too, as a little kid, we grew up
wanting to be a World Champion.
「要達成我們(泛指F1)想在這邊的目標，你必須得投資更多在真實的運動上。我長大的目
標，是成為一個世界冠軍。」
“If I think the sport would put more focus on to these kinds of things and
also explain more what the team is doing throughout the season, what they are
achieving, what they’re working for, these kinds of things I find way more
important to look at than just having all these random shows all over the
place.
「這項運動必須將更多專注放在這種事情上，更多解釋車隊在賽季中在做哪些事情、成就
了什麼、以及他們的工作目標。我認為這些事情比『零散的表演』更值得人們的注意。」
“For me, it’s not what I’m very passionate about, and I like passion and
emotion with these kinds of places.
「對我來說，那些事情不是我熱衷的。我喜歡(在傳統賽道的)熱情、情緒。」
“I love Vegas, but not to drive an F1 car. I love to go out, have a few
drinks, throw everything on red or whatever, to be a bit crazy and have nice
food.
「我喜歡Vegas，但不是在這裡開F1賽車。這裡適合出門享受、喝幾杯、把所有東西弄成
紅
色(指賭博？)，享受一點瘋狂以及吃好吃的食物。」
“But like I said, emotion, passion, it’s not there compared to some old
school tracks.”
「但像我說的，相比於老派賽道，這裡缺乏了激情與熱情。」
