The world champion returned home. After consecrating himself with a sensational victory in Abu Dhabi on Sunday and contesting the Pirelli post-season test day on Tuesday, Verstappen returned to Europe on Wednesday and returned to his team’s factory in Milton Keynes .
There, Red Bull organized a spectacular reception, distributing its workers on both sides of the access road, who created a truly epic atmosphere with flares that dyed the sky with orange smoke.
And among them, at the controls of a Honda NSX (orange, of course), Max Verstappen inched his way to the Red Bull Racing Technology Campus where he was able to celebrate with the entire team, including those key workers who don’t go to the circuits but who are just as responsible for the success.
He was greeted by the two visible geniuses of the Red Bull Racing project, director Christian Horner and technical chief Adrian Newey .

After the reception, the Dutchman and all of Red Bull posed for a group photo for history, which also kept a curiosity. If on Tuesday it was Verstappen who completed his last kilometers of the season testing on the RB15 adapted the 18-inch Pirelli tires that will be released in 2022, on Wednesday it was the turn of his teammate Sergio Pérez.
And since Checo could not be in the celebration when he met at the Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi, Red Bull decided to put a cardboard Pérez in the celebration, without forgetting the champion’s partner who on Sunday, with a brutal defense against Lewis Hamilton, also It was an important part of the victory.
How could it be otherwise, Verstappen had already had his celebration party on the circuit on Sunday night, and this Wednesday was the penultimate one before presumably there will be after receiving this Thursday, in Paris, during the gala of prizes of the FIA, his trophy as world champion 2021 of Formula 1.
