Max Verstappen is known as a driver who always pushes the limits on the track. But off the track, the Dutchman also shows he’s not afraid to go all out. The reigning Formula 1 world champion recently purchased a brand-new private jet with an estimated price tag of $60 million , and the news is causing a stir worldwide.

The aircraft is a Dassault Falcon 8X , one of the most prestigious business jets currently on the market. Capable of flying more than 12,000 kilometers without refueling, Verstappen can fly from Europe to virtually any destination in Asia, North America, or the Middle East in a single go. For a driver constantly on the move between Grands Prix, sponsorship commitments, and holiday destinations, this is an investment that takes his mobility to a whole new level.

What truly makes the Falcon 8X special, however, is its interior. According to experts, the inside of the aircraft resembles a luxury five-star hotel more than an airplane. It features spacious leather seats that fully convert into beds, a private bedroom, a modern kitchen, and even meeting rooms. For Verstappen, this means not only ultimate comfort during long flights but also the opportunity to recover in peace between races and work on his preparation.

This isn’t the first time Verstappen has been spotted with an impressive private jet. A few years ago, he acquired a Dassault Falcon 900EX from none other than British billionaire Sir Richard Branson , founder of the Virgin Group. That plane has served him faithfully for years, but now the Dutchman has opted for a significant upgrade.

Reactions among fans are divided. Some praise Verstappen for his success and believe he more than deserves this kind of luxury after his achievements in Formula 1. Others, however, question the enormous expenditure and point out the environmental impact of private jets. Yet, the majority of fans seem to be largely amazed by their idol’s extravagance.

The fact remains that with this purchase, Max Verstappen proves once again that he’s not only an exceptional driver, but also lives a lifestyle befitting one of the world’s biggest sports stars. While he’s breaking records and winning titles on the track, he enjoys a level of comfort above the clouds that few can afford.

One thing is for sure: whether you’re a fan of his driving style or not, Verstappen manages to capture the world’s attention time and time again — this time not with a daring overtake, but with a car signing that’s just as spectacular as his performance on the track.
