Viaplay is set to release a collection of eleven documentaries focused on three-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen.
The series will debut on Monday, October 14, on Viaplay US and Viaplay UK streaming services. The series offers an in-depth look at the life of the Dutch racing star, exploring how he has built the mindset and skills that have led to his dominance in the sport, as well as a rare glimpse into Verstappen’s life away from his Red Bull team and the Formula 1 circus.
Speaking about the project, Verstappen said, "Partnering with Viaplay for all these series has been an incredible journey. These series show a side that often remains unseen during the moments on the Formula 1 circuit.
"It gives a glimpse of my life, my love for different forms of motorsport, and the people who inspire me. I’m proud to collaborate with Viaplay now also bringing this unique series to viewers in the United States and United Kingdom," Verstappen explained.
Director Nick Hoedeman added: "Max is not a fan of big camera crews, so we kept it as small and compact as possible to help him feel at ease. That’s the only way to make it different from what fans have already seen of him."
Hoedeman said the series aims to provide insight into Verstappen's personality and
why he behaves the way he does: "Max is a ‘what you see, is what you get’ kind of person. It can be tricky for a director, but it also reveals his purity. Everyone was very open and honest throughout."
The timeline of the Verstappen episodes airing is:
- Max Verstappen: Off the Beaten Track (3 episodes) and Max Verstappen: Master of the Track (22x2’) debut as a doubleheader on Monday, October 14.
- Max’s Machine (Oct. 21), F1 Talks (Oct. 21).
