Formula 1 returned this weekend after the summer break, with Max Verstappen eagerly anticipating his home race in Zandvoort. However, the Red Bull driver recently revealed that he thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet during his time off, a sentiment apparently challenged by the official F1 Instagram account.### Why it mattersVerstappen is known for his candid and straightforward personality, which often shines through in his interactions. His latest exchange with the F1 administration during his summer break perfectly encapsulates this, offering a humorous glimpse into the drivers' desire for downtime.### The DetailsThe official Formula 1 Instagram account posed a simple question to several drivers: "What was the best part of your summer vacation?" Max Verstappen, in his characteristically frank style, sent a direct response: "To not be disturbed."The F1 admin promptly replied, "And we've ruined it, whoops," to which Verstappen humorously reacted with a laughing emoji. This brief but telling interaction highlights the competitive world's brief respite for its stars.### Other Drivers' TakesVerstappen wasn't the only driver with a dry sense of humor. Lando Norris responded similarly, stating, "You not messaging me." Esteban Ocon echoed this sentiment with, "Not having to deal with you guys."In contrast, Nico Hulkenberg found returning to F1 a highlight, while rookies Kimi Andrea Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, and Gabriel Bortoleto valued spending time with their families during their break.
