Max enjoys LA show run on Hollywood Boulevard: 'Incredible'
Published on 31 October 2019 by Niels Hendrix
On Wednesday Max Verstappen, Alex Albon and Christian Horner took a detour en route from Mexico to Austin and tore up Hollywood at the F1 Live fan festival in Los Angeles. Both Aston Martin Red Bull Racing drivers went to Hollywood Boulevard where they were joined by Renault’s Daniel Ricciardo and Mercedes Valtteri Bottas for a full-on afternoon of F1 thunder.
Following a host of media interviews Alex and Max headed across to the site where the show car crew were busy prepping the RB7, and a little after 3pm Max steered the double title-winning machine onto the streets where thousands of fans had gathered for our first run of the day.
The course along Hollywood Boulevard featured a specially constructed donut zone right outside the iconic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and in front of the cameras of the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Max obliged with a tyre-smoking series of spins to send the crowd wild.
Max closed out a spectacular afternoon with a second run featuring even more burnouts and donuts. His final run also included an amazing triple donut in the company of Ricciardo and Bottas outside the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel.
“It was very special”, said Max afterwards. “To do a show run in LA was already pretty cool, but to do it on Hollywood Boulevard was incredible. It was great, too, that so many people came out to see it.
“I always love coming to the US”, he added. “I even came here for my summer holiday, so it’s always good to be back, and of course coming back in an F1 car makes it even better.”
