Yeah MAX is born in Belgium and went to school in Belgium and got his drivers license in Belgium.
As we know in the meantime MAX has become a Monegasque.

He will always be Belgian nationality wherever he lives under whatever flag.

It doesn't matter, really. For me it's perfectly OK that he flies the Dutch flag and let the Dutch national anthem play after a race win. His mom is Belgian (Flemish) and his dad is Dutch: he can claim both nationalities. He spent countless hours of karting training in Genk (Flanders), only had a Belgian passport as a kid and opted for the Dutch nationality when he became 18 years, spent most of his youth with his dad, most of his youth friends were Dutch, his accent is indisputably Dutch, he raced under a Dutch license and he identifies himself as Dutch, except for paying income taxes (Monaco citizen) ...but his true nationality is "racer" or "petrolhead".

The mothers of Lando Norris and Lance Stroll are Belgian too (Norris: Flemish mother - Stroll: Brussels mother).

Patina and pathos !

"It was love at first sight. Even at 100 yards away, eyes squinting. But it wasn't until I got close that the car took on a new form. It was the details that ensnared me - details you wouldn't find anywhere else. Details that didn't come from the minds of the creative; instead, these details were earned. These details were unique; irreplicable. This car had a patina that said one thing: "veteran." The monolithic air dam, jutting out from the chin of the car, was peppered - no, sandblasted with rock chips, each one speaking to a different instance of the beast giving chase. Each chip came from a certain track, a specific turn, tossed by a single tire of what may be an equally legendary car. In a world where cleanliness is often praised, this E9 said more to me than most ever have. I couldn't help but wonder where this car had been. What had it seen? I knew it was rich with history; more than most."

Looks like this CSL was raced mainly on part dirt tracks.

Unfortunately, later it got KBD'd.

The appropriate question to ask him is, Spa or Zandvoort?

He has claimed both nationalities. When Max turned 18, he immediately applied for a dutch nationality (I don't think you can do that at an earlier age).

Having lived all of his younger life in the border region, I don't think he sees himself as specifically dutch or specifically flemish.
He probably sees himself as a world civilian

If he cares about that at all. When he talks about that it's always as an answer to a question, so there's someone that tries to pull specific information from him (so it's always coloured by a narrative)

Q1 : And once again, YUKI is knocked out

GuidoK · 11-07-2025, 12:46 PM

TSU out again in SQ1...
He's now I think 5 years in F1, so you could consider him a veteran now, but his performance is sub par.

I don't think we'll see him next year. With HAD and LAW, as they are rookies you think they still have room to grow, but not with a 5 year veteran.
