Max Verstappen, Minor in Formula 1 – Formula 1
In 2015 year minor will work in F1: Dutch driver Max Verstappen (son of Jos, 10th at the 1994 World Championship) will pilot next season - when he has 17 years - one Toro Rosso.
The Faenza team decided to rely on such a young rider to leave on foot Jean-Eric Vergne (who, during his 2012 debut, performed better than his partner Riccardo and that this year the results are better than coéquipier Daniil Kvyat) – has caused a lot of controversy: the young driver from the Netherlands certainly has a natural talent, but he only started racing single-seat cars in 2014.
Max Verstappen born September 30, 1997 Hasselt (Belgium) from a family of pilots. He starts running at the age of seven in kart and immediately became the champion of Belgium in the Mini category (the success was repeated the next year).
In 2007 he moved up to the Mini Max category and won two championships, Belgian and Dutch, and the following year he took three titles: two in Mini Max (Belgium and Benelux) and in the Belgian cadet series. The dominance of the Dutch rider continued in 2009, when he repeated the three successes achieved the previous year (the cadet category was renamed KF5).
Max Verstappen began to be noticed internationally in 2010 in the category KF3: victories in the World Series, Euroseries and Nations Cup WSK and wins the Bridgestone Cup final. The success of the Euroseries is repeated in 2011.
The maximum level will increase in 2012, moving to KF2 and immediately shows his skills, taking home the Winter Cup and WSK Master Series, but real domination comes in 2013: World and European champion CIK-FIA KZ, continental champion CIK-FIA KF and the lead in the Winter Cup KF2, in WSK Master Series KZ2 and WSK Euro Series KZ1.
in 2014 Max Verstappen debuts with single-seaters at the European Championship F3 with the Dutch team from Amersfoort driving a motorized car Volkswagen: after nine out of eleven rounds, he is second overall behind the Frenchman Esteban Ocon... On July 6, he wins the prestigious Masters tournaments, on August 12, he joins Team Red Bull Junior and six days later she was hired Toro Rosso run in F1.
