Red Bull Racing Rockstars Ignite Crowd with Verstappen Performance

Danish rock band Volbeat got fans roaring with Max Verstappen‘s anthem at their packed Ziggo Dome show last Tuesday, adding another chapter to the song’s unlikely success story.

Frontman Michael Poulsen, sporting a Verstappen shirt, urged the crowd to join in with the now-famous “tut tut tut tut tututu, Max Verstappen” chant. The audience didn’t need much encouragement.

Social media videos show thousands belting out the tune in perfect unison.

The catchy track, officially called “33 Max Verstappen,” has come a long way since DJ duo Carte Blanq and Maxx Power created it back in 2018.

What started as a simple tribute has exploded into a cultural phenomenon. You’ll hear it blasting at F1 circuits worldwide and pumping through speakers at music festivals across Europe.

Verstappen himself has a complicated relationship with his musical tribute. He’s joked that hearing it constantly has given him “a form of post-traumatic stress.”

He’s not the only performer embracing the Formula 1 anthem. A Korean musician recently played it at the same venue, and it’s become a staple at the massive Tomorrowland festival.

Volbeat isn’t done with the Netherlands yet. After their show in Antwerp, Belgium (just a stone’s throw from Verstappen’s hometown of Hasselt) on Wednesday, they’ll return to Rotterdam Ahoy on October 22.

Fans can expect another round of the famous chant there.

The song’s continuing popularity shows just how far Verstappen’s influence reaches beyond racing. He’s not just dominating the track—he’s making his mark on music and live entertainment too.
