"...he's still late to everything."

ANAHEIM—A man from Anaheim has legally changed his name to Max Verstappen after consistently embarrassing Google Maps by arriving at his destinations a remarkable 30 seconds ahead of the app's estimated time. The man, formerly known as Hewis Lamilton, decided to make the change because he's been doing this since 2021.

The decision to change his name was not taken lightly, but after several years of consistently edging out Google Maps, the man felt a deep connection to the world of fast-paced racing, a sentiment he shared in a recent interview. "I've always been fascinated by speed and accuracy, and Max Verstappen embodies that in the world of racing. Changing my name is a nod to the abusive upbringing that we both share which has lead to our superhuman abilities," he said.

Friends and family were taken aback by the news, "It's a bit unusual, but he's always been a little strange. He's always been good with directions, but he's still late to everything. He should really just leave earlier," commented a close friend.

Despite his newfound fame, the man remains humble about his achievements, attributing his success to a combination of careful planning and a deep understanding of traffic patterns. "It's all about knowing when to take the alternate route and when to stick with the flow. Google Maps is a great tool, but sometimes, a human touch can make all the difference," he shared.

As Max Verstappen continues to defy expectations on the race track, his namesake is carving out his own path, one Google Maps beat at a time.
