Red Bull Racing F1 driver Max Verstappen asserted he will not change his personality, even if many people dislike his straightforward approach.
The four-time world Max Verstappen is known to be outspoken, honest, not mincing words whenever he has strong opinions about certain topics.
Each time journalists ask the Dutchman a question, they know they will hear what the 27-year-old Red Bull driver really thinks unfiltered.
Jos Verstappen recently discussed this topic in an interview with F1 Insider. He suggested that he's incredibly proud of the way his son behaves in public and how bluntly he always states his opinions.
Many people love the four-time world champion for this trait, but there are also many F1 fans who get the impression that he's arrogant.
Reflecting on his approach in an interview with Racingnews365, Max Verstappen stated that he's not going to change because of those people who don't like his personality:
"I am not going to change this because of other people. Of course, there are always nicer moments and some not-nice moments, but I'm outspoken and that's how I am."
"When I feel like something is not right, and I have to say something about it, I will, and if not everyone agrees with it, that is fine. I mean it is their opinion."
"I don't mind, I will live my life how I want to live it, and if not many people agree with that, it is fine. I don't live your life, I don't tell you how to live your life, but that is why we're on this planet."
"We all live our lives in a different way, everyone has different professions and of course, some people are very opinionated about others."
"I am probably not like that in terms of criticizing others, but I live my life and I am not going to change this because of other people."
