Max Verstappen has admitted that he would rather stay at home and take care of his two-month-old baby instead of attending Black Tie events after having chased two premieres for the new F1 film by Lewis Hamilton.
‘F1’, which counts seven -time world champion Hamilton as a performing producer, was released on Wednesday in the midst of fanfare of fans and drivers.
Formula 1 stars received a first glimpse of the film, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, in a private display for the Monaco Grand Prix last month.
The premiere of the film in New York was attended by drivers Lando Norris, Ollie Bearmam, Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz.
But Verstappen stored both events and admitted that he has not even viewed the film yet, instead he would rather spend time taking care of his newborn.
The Red Bull Driver welcomed his first child at the beginning of May with partner Kelly Piquet.

The 27-year-old admitted that he did not even watch the film after missing two prime ministers of ‘F1’
The Dutchman, 27, told Sun: ‘Being authentic is not something I have to try to concentrate on. It’s just who I am.
‘I don’t like to be on the red carpet and dress in a suit. I don’t like to communicate with people I don’t really know, and have a fake smile and fake chat. It’s terrible, I’m just not enjoying it.
‘I’d rather hang around with my friends and spend time with my little family. I also have many other projects outside of F1.
‘So extra work such as red carpets is not what I want to do. I am in a phase of my career in which I have reached so much professionally.
“I am just concentrating outside now, such as my great passions to make life more pleasant and not just being a performance -driven.”
“With the diapers, some are more smelly than others!”
The four -time world champion even refused to participate in an extra night club scene for the film with Brad Pitt.
Other drivers were more interested in the film.
“I will just say, for the Pure F1 fan, be open-minded for Hollywood films,” said Williams driver Carlos Sainz.
Formula 1 teams wanted to help producers and gave the actors unprecedented access to their facilities.
McLaren gave them access to their woking headquarters, while Williams allowed them to use their wind tunnel for four days.
Silverstone was essentially rented to filmmakers for three months in the summer of 2023, so that junior drivers could not use the job.

Hamilton’s production company Dawn Apollo plays in the opening loans and is credited to play a decisive role when he helped to train PITT and Idris in Formula 2 cars.
Joseph Kosinski, who was behind Top Gun: Maverick, and directed the latest potential blockbuster, unveiled for the Canadian Grand Prix: ‘Lewis was the first person I reached.
“I sent him an e -mail and said,” I want to make it as authentic as possible. Do you want to help me? ” And luckily Lewis said, “Yes”.
“He was involved in all technical details with fascinating advice. In Hungary, for example, he said: “If Brad lets someone pass through during a blue flag and he wants it to be as tight as possible, he will only do that in turn six”. That kind of details, I couldn’t get from anywhere else. ‘
