Max Verstappen has been nominated for the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award again in 2023, after winning his second Formula 1 title last season. The Dutchman has been nominated alongside footballers Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, tennis star Rafael Nadal, olympic athlete Armand Duplantis, and American basketball player Stephen Curry. Verstappen scooped the award last year, which has previously been won by F1 drivers Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. After 15 victories and seven poles on his way to securing the Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles for Red Bull in 2022, Verstappen has built on that dominance with two poles and victories already in 2023. 1645350075558666240 Twice as nice! 🙌 After a record-breaking season in 2022, @Max33Verstappen became a double Formula 1 world champion in 2022 driving for @redbullracing 👏 #Laureus23 World Sportsman of the Year Nominee pic.twitter.com/PRaNK2DLs3 — Laureus (@LaureusSport) April 10, 2023
