Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen continued a team bonding tradition by hosting a Red Bull Racing dinner at Filadelfia Brasa, the Brazilian restaurant owned by former F1 driver Nelson Piquet Jr. The gathering, documented on the restaurant's Instagram account, shows Verstappen maintaining the custom of team meals despite the intense competition schedule.
The dinner took place at the São Paulo establishment, which has become a regular venue for Red Bull team gatherings during the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend. Piquet Jr., who raced in Formula 1 from 2008 to 2009, opened the restaurant specializing in Brazilian barbecue after his racing career.
Team dinners have become a staple of Red Bull's culture under Verstappen's leadership, serving as opportunities for engineers, mechanics, and drivers to connect away from the paddock. The tradition has persisted through multiple championship campaigns, with the reigning champion often taking the lead in organizing these events.
