During the Talking Bull Podcast, the Dutch driver was asked if Christian Horner would already be preparing a contract for his child. Max Verstappen highlighted that first he’ll need to have a chat with the kid when they are born.

I need to speak to Christian about that, I actually don’t want he/she to go into racing. maybe a different role, maybe he or she can design future cars.
