Max Verstappen's long trip to Japan for the Honda Thank Day was certainly not in vain. The world champion got behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car there for the last time this year and he received a nice present.
With tens of thousands of fans in the stands, Honda chief Seiji Kuraichi expressed his immense appreciation for Verstappen's two world titles with the Honda-powered Red Bull. He then handed the Dutchman the keys to a grey Honda NSX Type S, as an added bonus for his achievements.
