๐๐ Max Verstappenโs path to Formula 1 started long before most drivers even get near a single-seater.
โ
He began karting as a child and built an exceptional junior record, becoming one of the most successful young karters of his generation.
โ
By 2013, Verstappen had already collected major European and world karting titles before making the jump to single-seaters in 2014.
โ
That first year in Formula 3 was enough to convince Red Bull that he was ready for Formula 1.
โ
He made his official Grand Prix weekend debut in practice at Suzuka in 2014 just days after turning 17, then became a full-time Toro Rosso driver the following season.
โ
Only a year later, Verstappen won on his Red Bull Racing debut at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix and became the youngest race winner in Formula 1 history.
โ
Looking back at his karting years, do you think it was already obvious Max was destined for Formula 1?
