Verstappen celebrated his 27th birthday in the cockpit of a Ferrari at Mugello

Behind this test of the racing Ferrari by the three-time Formula 1 champion at Mugello is nothing more than this very special gift that Max Verstappen reserved for himself for his 27th birthday, which was on September 30, 2024.

The Dutchman therefore took advantage of the nearly month-long gap in F1 from the Singapore GP to the next one in Austin, Texas on October 18-20. He rented the Mugello circuit for his personal use, as well as a racing Ferrari 296 GT3.

Unfortunately for him the weather conditions were not the best as the continuous and heavy rain did not allow him to enjoy it as much as he would have liked.

He completed a few laps, but reports say he would remain at the Mugello circuit today (2/10) for another day of fun before returning home to Monaco.
