When a passion for speed meets aeronautical luxury
Max Verstappen, three-time Formula 1 world champion and rising star of motor sport, leaves nothing to chance when it comes to performance, whether on the track or in the air. As a Red Bull Racing driver and speed prodigy, the Dutchman has treated himself to a prestigious private jet, a strategic asset for his constant travels to the four corners of the globe.
A Falcon 8X in the colours of victory
In his quest for excellence, Max Verstappen has set his sights on a Dassault Falcon 8X, a model renowned for its range, comfort and versatility. Built by the flagship of the French business aviation industry, this aircraft boasts a spacious cabin that can seat up to 16 passengers, a range of almost 11,945 kilometres and a cruising speed of 900 kph. Enough to cross the Atlantic non-stop and easily reach the F1 circuits in the four corners of the globe.
Acquired from his employer, Red Bull, this aircraft is a testament to the trust and unwavering support that the Austrian brand has for its champion. With its exclusive design, probably customised to reflect Verstappen’s signature, the Falcon 8X combines elegance and efficiency, meeting the demands of a driver accustomed to the smallest gains in performance.
Why a private jet for an F1 driver?
In the ultra-competitive world of F1, optimising time and energy is a crucial issue. For Verstappen, having his own plane means avoiding long waits at airports, planning his journeys according to his overloaded schedule and arriving rested and concentrated before each Grand Prix. It’s also a major advantage for the media obligations, private tests and partner events that punctuate the life of a world champion.
In choosing a business jet of this size, Verstappen is following in the footsteps of the big names in sport and business, who favour private aviation for its many advantages: flexibility, time-saving, confidentiality and unrivalled travel comfort.
Private aviation, a natural choice for the motorsport elite
Like Max Verstappen, many F1 drivers have understood the strategic importance of private jets for optimum career management. Lewis Hamilton, for example, owned a Bombardier Challenger 605 for a long time before adopting a more ecological approach. Other big names in sport, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Tiger Woods, also have their own aircraft.
Private aviation is not just about luxury: it’s an essential mobility solution for those whose time is a precious resource. It guarantees an unrestricted travel experience, with tailor-made services and total discretion.
