Verstappen urges Dutch government to back motorsport, not rely solely on his success

Max Verstappen has called on the Dutch government to actively support motorsport, warning that the sport's long-term popularity in the Netherlands cannot rest solely on his own success. The 28-year-old pointed to Germany's experience during the Michael Schumacher era, when interest in motorsport collapsed after the seven-time champion's dominance ended. Verstappen urged the building of a lasting motorsport culture independent of his personal achievements.
