In recent weeks, there has been much discussion about the alleged biased reporting in the British media. Max Verstappen felt that he was often unfairly criticized by the English press. “I have the wrong passport,” he said. Now that the Dutchman has won his fourth title, the Brits can no longer ignore him. In a notable attempt to support Verstappen, a Sky Sports reporter has adopted a unique hairstyle.

Journalist Craig Slater traveled to Qatar with a new haircut. On social media, images of the back of his head are circulating widely. The barber has shaved Max Verstappen’s new logo – M4X – into his hair. Many people speculate that he probably lost a bet. “This must have been a bet,” skeptics write on Reddit. “He probably thought Verstappen wouldn’t become champion in Las Vegas.”

However, Max Verstappen is impressed with Slater’s new hairstyle. In an interview prior to the GP of Qatar, the Brit proudly showed off his new coiffure. “Oh my god,” the Dutchman responded with a laugh. “You’ve really done that very well. That’s actually really impressive. I mean, I would never do it myself, but I appreciate it. Well done!
