Talk about a reason to celebrate.

After zooming to victory at Hard Rock Stadium Sunday at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, Formula 1 winner Max Verstappen hit the club to get an up close look at our nightlife scene.

A few hours after hoisting the Dan Marino trophy to the skies, the 24-year-old Dutchman was seen at STORY in South Beach autographing the venue’s wall, we were told.

Verstappen also hung out with fellow Holland native, DJ Martin Garrix (“Animals”). The two men have known each other a long while. On Instagram, the EDM star posted a throwback pic of them as baby faced youngsters. Garrix was also on hand last year at his pal clinched the first spot at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Verstappen didn’t stop the party there. The Red Bull speed demon was also spotted at E11even with a bunch of pals.

The high wattage crowd at the 24/7 ultraclub also included Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, Scuderia AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly and McLaren star Lando Norris.

We have a feeling Verstappen may check out the fiery South Florida real estate scene. He seems to really like the way we roll, on and off the track.

Along with a picture of him popping chamagne, Verstappen wrote, “Yes, boys! Incredibly happy to win here in Miami.”
