Talk:Max Verstappen

Belgian nationality

On this page it says that Max still holds Belgian nationality, but the source is from when he was 17. According to Jos, he had to choose at age 18 which nationality he wanted to take, at which point he chose the Dutch nationality, losing his Belgian one in the process (https://www.gpfans.com/nl/f1-nieuws/41751/dit-is-waarom-max-verstappen-niet-onder-de-belgische-vlag-rijdt/). We cannot be sure about it, but it most definitely should not be stated as fact. Can this be removed, or does someone have an argument against it?

Not this again. We discussed this plenty in the past. Tvx1 19:49, 27 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like a reasonable position to me. Are there RS stating he is Belgian? Jtbobwaysf (talk) 07:08, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He was born and raised there to a Belgian mother. Belgian citizenship is his birthright. Jos, who has gone on a continued personal tirade against Max's Belgian nationality since the early-2010s, is an unreliable source on the matter; Max says he is 50–50, as sourced in the article.

 Not done The F1 infobox stats seem to match the Career Stats section of https://www.formula1.com/en/drivers/max-verstappen as far as I can see, e.g. both credit him with 71 wins, 127 podiums, 48 pole positions, 3444.5 points, etc. DH85868993 (talk) 22:11, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
