Two-time F1 champion Max Verstappen is reportedly in the midst of potential legal troubles after a video showcasing him driving an Aston Martin Valkyrie one-handed went viral. 

Initially receiving praise, concerns quickly arose regarding Verstappen's safety and potential speeding, as he allegedly drove at 120 KPH in a 90 KPH zone. While sources suggest that he could face prosecution for endangering lives, nothing has been officially confirmed.

Fans have been making light of the potentially problematic situation for the Dutch driver on social media. One fan posted:

"Pretty funny for the f1 world champion to be 'prosecuted' for going 77mph. I feel like he should be allowed to go a little bit faster than everyone else"

Someone else posted:

"Max escaping jail to drive in Dutch GP"

Verstappen has dominated the 2023 season so far, winning ten out of the twelve races. He now holds a 125-point lead on his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez and his third championship title is starting to look inevitable. It is therefore no shock that fans have been joking about the reports. 

Here is a compilation of some of the funniest posts.
