Verstappen explained his decision to skip the premiere.
Via ESPN
“I just wanted to spend more time at home. It wasn’t a mandatory event either, it was just my private time. And I prefer to spend that private time at home, especially because in Formula 1 you’re away from home so much already.”
“Wanting to spend more time at home on days like that, is pretty normal, I think. Now that the family is growing, then I definitely prefer to spend more time at home.”
After skipping the premiere, Verstappen pulled up to Monaco in his $15 million custom yacht.
Max Verstappen’s new $15 million yacht “Unleash The Lion” is in Monaco after a two-year wait.
