"He just wants wants to make sure I'm not a loser..."

LOS ANGELES—Jos Verstappen, father of Formula 1 sensation Max Verstappen, has expressed disappointment over his son's decision not to undergo an appendectomy like fellow driver Carlos Sainz. Jos Verstappen's remarks shed light on his concerns regarding Max's commitment and drive to become a champion in the fiercely competitive world of Formula 1.

Speaking to reporters, Jos Verstappen emphasized the significance of sacrifices in pursuit of excellence, stating, "To be a true champion, one must be willing to make sacrifices. Carlos [Sainz] has shown his dedication by undergoing the appendix surgery, a decision that made him FASTER."

Max Verstappen, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by his father's remarks, asserting its just his dad motivating him again. He remarked, "He just wants wants to make sure I'm not a loser like when he left me on the side of the road after losing a karting race. It's how he loves."

Carlos Sainz, when approached for comment, expressed his respect for Max's perspective while reaffirming his own commitment to excellence. He stated, "He's crazy, I got an appendectomy because I would die if I didn't. I win cause I'm a smooth operator."

The contrasting viewpoints within the Verstappen camp underscore the complex dynamics at play in Formula 1, where the pursuit of greatness demands unwavering dedication and sacrifice of organs. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Max Verstappen to see if his performance on the track can silence any doubts about not unnecessarily removing body parts.
