"No wonder he didn't throw himself in the Monaco pool; This is not Max": Fans troll Max Verstappen for swimming with armband floats

Max Verstappen has kept himself out of the limelight during the summer break. The Red Bull driver has preferred to enjoy the downtime away from the public eye. This is probably the reason why the first ever appearance of the reigning F1 champion is breaking the internet right now.

Kelly Piquet, Verstappen's girlfriend, shared a short video from the summer break that had a small segment where Max was wearing armband bloats in the swimming pool. As expected, fans pounced on it and started trolling the Red Bull driver on Twitter. Here are some of the reactions from fans.

"Never thought I’d see this, max verstappen with swimming armbands on"

"Are you telling me that the damned Max Verstappen, current world champion, one of the most aggressive and spectacular drivers in history who is not afraid of anything or anyone, needs some sleeves to get into the pool? That's right, the padrometer blew."

"All children in the Netherlands learn to swim from an early age. It is a historic government program to minimize casualties in the event of a levee failure. This is not max...."

"I know fishermen who don't know how to swim, their work is done in the sea, it's something incongruous but real, so if Verstappen can't swim it's not extraordinary."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha how can this be God!"

"No wonder he didn't throw himself in the Monaco pool xd"

"Max making sure he is safe in the water"

"I bet he has them on to be a good example for little P, my dad used to do the same"

"FIA water safety scheme brought to you by 2021 world champion max Verstappen"

"nah but fr, hes a great role model for kid even tho hes still young, hes all down to be one, i love him for that honeslty"

Max Verstappen went into the summer break on the back of a spectacular win in Hungary

The Red Bull driver went into the summer break on the back of a spectacular win in Hungary where he came through the field from P10 to win the race. After the race, he said,

"It feels crazy to have won the race today from P10, especially on a track like this where it's very hard to pass. We made all the right calls today, there were some good undercuts and overall we did a great job today as a Team. This was definitely one of my best races, despite the little 360-degree spin!"

Verstappen now leads the championship by 80 points over Charles Leclerc with only 9 races left in the season.
