The name of Max Verstappen has been present in Formula 1 since the 2015 season, the year in which he made his debut in the top flight at the wheel of Toro Rosso when he was still a minor. A debut that allowed the Dutchman to become the youngest rider in history to have competed in a GP valid for the world championship, then set two more precocity records with the arrival in the points and, above all, for the first victory. This, obtained at the 2016 Spanish GP, also coincided with his first ever race at the wheel of the Red Bull, having been promoted by the Austrian team this season to replace Daniil Kvyat.
From that moment on, Verstappen has never left Milton Keynes, so much so that he presents himself today in the conditions of being able to seriously fight for the world title. At 24 years of age, the number 33 therefore has all the credentials to be able to develop a long career in the Circus which, in the coming years, will still be linked to Red Bull. A combination, the one between the Dutch and the Austrian house, which could even remain unchanged for the rest of the adventure of Mad Max in Formula 1.
Of this he is particularly convinced Jos Verstappen, father of the current championship leader and manager of his own son. The former pilot, interviewed by formulas1.nl, specified this hypothesis together with an analysis on the immediate technical future of the team, which from next year will no longer be able to count on the full support of Honda for the construction of the power units, so much so that we are already looking to 2026 for a possible agreement with Volkswagen: “Knowing Red Bull – commented – I really think they are going in this direction. My family culture has many aspects in common with this team ”.
“Red Bull wants to be completely independent, and that’s one of the best things there can be. They know how good Max is while Mercedes has not yet realized. But this could be an advantage. How nice that would be – he asks himself – if we started, we win and eventual ended together? As long as Max has a winning car at his disposal, why not? Between us there is a great understanding – he concluded – and we have fun “.
