An adults-only adaptation of the beloved children’s classic *The Very Hungry Caterpillar* will be narrated by the reigning F1 champion, according to sources close to him. The Dutch driver, recently reprimanded for using profanity during a press conference, will deliver a version of Eric Carle’s story packed with expletives.
This special late-night event will feature the three-time world champion in a cozy armchair by the fire, performing a humorous monologue that critiques society’s views on overindulgence.
“He’s been instructed by the Singapore GP stewards to engage in some public service, and this is how he plans to do it—narrating a classic children’s tale with a twist for an adult audience,” an insider revealed. “Honestly, seeing Verstappen swearing while relaxing in a comfy sweater is pure entertainment.”
The insider noted that Verstappen has expressed frustration with certain aspects of Formula One and hinted at a lucrative future in streaming, where he could create a series of late-night specials turning classic stories into adult-themed narratives. “He’s actually looking forward to it,” the source added. “He’s not just focused on breaking F1 records, and this new venture allows him to explore a different side of his career.”
In a teaser for the show, Verstappen quipped, “He’s a ******* caterpillar that likes eating loads of ******* food. Why can’t the poor ******* thing eat whatever the **** it wants? Who cares if it gets a ******* stomach-ache—it’s a ******* caterpillar that turns into a ******* butterfly.”
