Max Vertappen's Story
Max Verstappen reached Formula 1® earlier than any driver before him. After a rapid rise through karting and single-seaters, the Dutch driver made his F1® debut with Toro Rosso in 2015 aged just 17, immediately establishing a reputation for fearless racing and exceptional car control.
His promotion to Red Bull Racing in 2016 produced an extraordinary result. Verstappen won on his team debut at the Spanish Grand Prix, becoming Formula 1®’s youngest race winner.
In 2021, individual victories became a World Championship campaign. After a season-long battle with Lewis Hamilton, Verstappen secured his first title at the Abu Dhabi finale. What followed was an extraordinary period of sustained success.
He retained the title in 2022 before producing one of F1®’s most dominant campaigns in 2023, winning 19 of 22 Grands Prix in the RB19. A fourth consecutive World Championship followed in 2024, placing Verstappen among the small group of drivers to have won four or more titles.
Four consecutive titles transformed Verstappen’s Red Bull years from a collection of individual victories into a defining period of modern F1®. The cars behind that run – particularly the record-breaking RB19 – now form an unmistakable part of his racing story.
