Max Verstappen gets his own store!

Many Formula 1 drivers have their own line of clothes and merchandise, but Max Verstappen has gone a step further, opening his own brick-and-mortar shop!

The official Max Verstappen store will open on Saturday, June 17 in the Dutch town of Swalmen, and will be the home of Verstappenshop.nl offering the driver's full online collection.

"It’s awesome to have my own store," says Max as he’s looking at the merchandise collection.

"The store design looks really nice. It’s definitely worth a visit!"

The Max Verstappen store offers all of the relevant merchandise - from clothes, shoes and caps to accessories and scale models – all part of the Red Bull Racing and MV collection.

The latter is a unique collection of merchandise developed together with Red Bull Racing and was only recently launched.

Apart from displaying the latest merchandise, the store will showcase some rare and unique Max Verstappen racing memorabilia such as the helmet he wore during his first win in Barcelona last year.

Apart from several other helmets, memorabilia from Max’ earlier years in racing are also displayed, such as suits, gloves, shoes and trophies.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
