Profile
Max Verstappen became F1's youngest race starter at 17 and its youngest winner at 18, then rewrote the record books with four consecutive world championships from 2021 to 2024. Relentless, aggressive and complete, he is the benchmark of his generation.

Unmatched car control on corner entry with a preference for a sharp, pointy front end; devastating in mixed conditions and wheel-to-wheel combat.
