2021 F1 Champ Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing-Honda gets new Honda NSX after selling his current “Work” car, a Honda Civic Type R.
The 24 year old Dutch driver plans to donate the proceeds from the sale of his Honda to the Wings for Life non-profit foundation.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing-Honda was crowned the 2021 Formula 1 World Champion last week after a thrilling final race at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday.
After arriving home, the new F1 champion was received with applause and orange smoke as he drove an orange Honda NSX through a crowd of cheering fans lined along the road.
The orange Honda NSX is obviously the Dutchman’s new official car after he decided to sell his current “work” car, a Honda Civic Type R.
His Honda Civic Type R will go on sale on CarNext on December 23 for €33,333 (approximately $37,000), with all the proceeds going to the Wings for Life non-profit foundation.
Verstappen said about the sale:
“I’m very pleased that I can sell my car for such a good cause as Wings for Life. And to make sure the sale is in good hands, I’m doing it together with my partner CarNext. For a final goodbye to the car, I took it for one last drive, as you can see in the campaign. I hope the new owner will enjoy the car as much as I did.”
At the age of 24 years and 66 days, Max Verstappen, a son of a former Formula One driver, won his first-ever title to become one of the youngest-ever driver to win the championship.
With his victory, Verstappen became the first Dutch driver to win the Formula One World Championship and the 34th Formula One World Drivers’ Champion.
