To Kelly, My Incredible Supporters, and the Whole Red Bull Racing Community,
I am overcome with gratitude, excitement, and a profound sense of pride in what we have created together as I take the time to think back on this amazing trip. This message is a celebration of all the love, support, and faith that have surrounded me throughout the years, not just a reflection of my own thoughts.
To my dear Kelly,
Through all of life’s ups and downs, you have been my rock. Even at the most trying times, I have found strength in your love, tolerance, and steadfast support. You have supported me with love and grace even though you have witnessed both my best and worst sides. Your confidence in me has served as a continual reminder that I am appreciated for who I am, not just what I accomplish, regardless of what occurs on the track. I appreciate you being my confidante, my refuge, and my strongest supporter. You accompanying me on this journey is such a blessing.
To my admirers,
I can’t really put into words how much you mean to me. Your enthusiasm, vigour, and commitment have propelled my ambition to achieve from the beginning of my career to our current position. It reminds me why I strive for excellence every single day, whether it’s your encouragemental messages, your applause resonating throughout the grandstands, or simply witnessing your steadfast loyalty. You’ve joined me in celebrating each victory as though it were your own, and your belief in me has been my biggest source of inspiration when things have been difficult.
You are the reason this sport seems so alive, so electric. You make every race, every lap, and every struggle worth it. Thank you for being my strength and for making this trip unforgettable.
To the Red Bull Racing family,
To me, you have been more than just a team; you have been my family, my second home, and you have always believed in my abilities and provided me with every chance to develop, learn, and succeed. The unwavering work of all of you—the engineers, mechanics, strategists, and everyone behind the scenes—has been nothing short of extraordinary, and together we have accomplished things that once seemed like dreams, all thanks to hard work, creativity, and an unbreakable bond. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me to be better, and never settling for anything less than excellence. This team is a legacy, and I am incredibly proud to be a part of you.
Beyond merely racing, this trip has been about the relationships we’ve formed, the memories we’ve made, and our shared quest for excellence. My family, my supporters, and my team, without you, none of this would have been possible.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Together, let’s continue to create history.
With sincere appreciation,
Verstappen, Max
