Max Verstappen may be best known for dominating racetracks around the world, but this week the three-time Formula 1 World Champion showed the world a completely different side of himself — one that has nothing to do with speed or trophies.

The shocking incident took place in the hills of Monaco on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. According to eyewitness reports, Verstappen was driving his custom Aston Martin Valkyrie when he suddenly slammed the brakes, swerved to the side of the road, and jumped out of the vehicle — leaving the car’s engine still humming.

The reason? A small, bloodied dog lying helplessly in the middle of the road.

Locals who witnessed the moment say the scene looked like something out of a dramatic film.

“At first we thought there had been an accident involving the car,” said Simone Allard, a resident of the area who was walking her own dog nearby. “But then we realized Max had actually seen the dog, pulled over immediately, and ran toward it without hesitation. It was surreal.”

The dog — a white and tan terrier mix, estimated to be around six years old — had apparently been struck by a scooter moments before Verstappen arrived. Its hind leg was visibly broken, and it was bleeding from a wound on its side.

Verstappen, dressed casually in a Red Bull Racing hoodie and jeans, reportedly took off his jacket, wrapped the injured dog in it, and carried it back to his car. But rather than wait for emergency services, Verstappen drove the dog himself to a local veterinary clinic just minutes away.
