MAX VERSTAPPEN has revealed his desire to get “as fat as a pudding sandwich” when he retires – but his stunning girlfriend Kelly Piquet has other ideas.
The Dutchman is currently at top of his game in F1 as he looks to chase down his third straight driver’s championship.
Max Verstappen is the heavy favourite to win this the driver’s crown this season
But competing at the pinnacle of motorsport comes with its sacrifices.
Verstappen has to abide by a strict diet and fitness regime to keep in top physical shape.
But the 25-year-old let slip plans to loosen his belt once he hangs up his racing gloves.
However his girlfriend – the daughter of F1 driver Nelson Piquet – has different ideas.
They were speaking in a new Viaplay documentary about Verstappen’s career.
The racer told filmmakers: “When I am forty, then I will no longer race. Then I will eat what I want.
“I’m getting as fat as a pudding sandwich.”
But an unamused Kelly repeatedly says “no” to his suggestions of cutting loose.

Verstappen indicated earlier this month that he could cut his ties with F1 sooner rather than later over his frustrations with format changes.
The Red Bull driver has been vocal about his issues with proposed sprint race altercations in the latest attempt by motorsport bosses to spice up race weekends.
Whatever tweaks are introduced, it is hard to see anything disrupting Verstappen’s momentum this season.
He has won two of the opening three races with his teammate Sergio Perez claiming victory in the other after Verstappen was hit with mechanical issues in qualifying.
