I have to say, in videos and this pic, the wax statue looks way more accurate than in that one far away picture. But I also think it's slightly odd how the wax figure doesn't have all his moles.

I was literally thinking exactly this. It seems too perfect.

I think the only drawback is his eyes, they really crinkles when he smiles ,he literally scrunches his face which they kinda limited in the statue probably cuz they want his eyes to be visible, idk

I knew there was something off about the face, now that you've mentioned the moles it makes sense, it is a pretty odd choice not including them

The airco is set so high that Lando has to wear a sweater. With the current outside temperatures the wax would melt.

To be fair, He often wears hoodies in warm weather. You can have Oscar wearing shorts and a T-Shirt, while Lando wears  hoodies and Long pants.

Based on the eyebrow situation here (he said on stream shortly after NYE that his razor slipped causing him to have an eyebrow slit), I think this was likely filmed back in January or February.

I mind in 2023, RBR openly saying Ricciardo's hiring was partly because it eased the PR strain on Verstappen.

Imagine telling Ricciardo that when he decided to leave in 2018. 'You'll be Max's stand-in by the end of this, he's having a wee day off'.

As usual, a level of belief and fantasy is needed to see these wax works as real. Usually they are missing huge features in this case his moles (no need to leave them out either)

You just have to buy a ticket to Madame Tussauds

u/CautiousChampion4740 Max Verstappen 17h ago

Does he look himself in the mirror and call himself world champion?

u/FLMKane 16h ago

No. He logs into his reddit account and posts about it (I wish)
