For the anon asking about Max and if he is well known in the Netherlands.
"i don't think they will be so deeply entwined(?) in the culture of their country. like, Lewis is literally knighted and still he is not anywhere near the top of the list when it comes to identifying features of the UK."
Max Verstappen was appointed an Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau on September 1, 2022.
Key Details of the Award:
Significance: Verstappen received this honor as the first Dutch Formula 1 World Champion.
The Rank: He was appointed an "Officer," which is a high-ranking merit within the Order of Orange-Nassau.
Context: At the time of the award, he was 24 years old and leading the 2022 championship.
Note: While often described by international media as the equivalent of a "knighthood," it is technically an appointment as an Officer in the Dutch Order of Orange-Nassau.
