A New F1 Legend
At just 26 years old, Max Verstappen has become a phenomenon in motorsport. Since his debut at 17, the Dutch driver has consistently shattered records.
The son of former F1 driver Jos Verstappen, Max began karting at the age of four, quickly showing exceptional talent. His breakthrough came in 2015 with Toro Rosso, and in 2016, he joined Red Bull, becoming the youngest race winner in Formula 1 history.
The defining moment of his career arrived in 2021, when he secured his first championship after a dramatic showdown with Lewis Hamilton. Since then, Verstappen’s dominance has only grown. In 2022, he won 15 races, and in 2023, he set a new record with 19 victories out of 22 races, including an unprecedented streak of 10 consecutive wins.
Known for his aggressive driving style and relentless determination, Verstappen has solidified his place among the legends of the sport. His era of dominance shows no signs of slowing, cementing his status as one of the most remarkable drivers in modern Formula 1 history.
