Verstappen's new private plane revealed: Here is the stunning Falcon 8X!
F1 News
Max Verstappen has invested in many new 'gadgets' recently, to say the least. First, a yacht the Futchman ordered from Italy was delivered to him recently. Last week, it was also revealed that the defending world champion got himself a new, much bigger private plane. See the images below!
Verstappen does not have to worry about refuelling in his plane on his way towards Grands Prix on the other side of the world, as his new plane can go 11,945 kilometres without a 'pit stop'. The Falcon 8X will be a comfortable one for the driver. It was assembled in 2015 and used a test plane for a couple of years before Verstappen completed the purchase.
It is estimated that the plane cost around 50 to 55 million euros. Verstappen can now fly directly from Europe to Asia or to South America without a stop, which could also likely help him save time over the busy Formula 1 season.

The first video of the private jet was also released. The registration will follow a clear pattern as well: 'PH-UTL (Unleash the Lion)'.
