Max Verstappen denied Mercedes-AMG rental automotive during holiday

Current Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has been denied a Mercedes-AMG GT rental automotive from Sixt during a recent holiday to Portugal as he’s too young.

As reported by The Sun, the 26-year-old Dutch racing driver was denied the high-performance rental automotive as the corporate’s insurance policy requires drivers to be at the very least 30 years old.

Mr Vestappen flew into Algarve, Portugal last Monday with family and friends and had rented around 20 cars from Sixt at Faro Airport.

The party had also booked the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve racing circuit for 2 days.

“Max and the group went to Portugal for a fun racing trip and had booked the cars they wanted,” said an unnamed source to The Sun.

“Once they got to the airport, Max was shocked when he was told he wasn’t allowed to drive the Mercedes he wanted.”

“He’s a seasoned F1 driver who’s used to handling powerful cars, so it’s quite astonishing to think he wasn’t allowed to get behind the wheel of this one — but those are the foundations, so he abided by them.”

“The staff of our franchise partner in Portugal have only followed the foundations that arise for insurance reasons,” said a Sixt spokesperson to The Sun.

“With a view to discover a customer-friendly solution on site, Mr Verstappen was supplied with one other premium vehicle.”

“Nonetheless, there might be special circumstances that justify a deviation from rules. That is such a case.

“We apologise to Mr Verstappen. He can rent the automotive he wants from us at any time.

“There may be in fact little question in any respect about his driving skills and his experience with powerful cars.”

Mr Vestappen ended up taking a BMW 5 Series, though his manager Raymond Vermeulen drove the Mercedes-AMG GT.

Max Verstappen has won the last three Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championships. He has raced for the Red Bull Racing team since 2016.
