Max Verstappen’s inclusion to Formula One as a driver seems like a no-brainer after casting a look at his lineage.

His mother, Sophie Kumpen, competed in karting, whereas his father, Jos Verstappen is a former Formula One driver.

The Belgian-Dutch racing driver got an opportunity to drive for Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2015 and became the youngest ever racing driver to compete in Formula One.

In the middle of his 2016 season with Toro Rosso, he was promoted to the sister team of Red Bull Racing, where he secured his first win during his debut race.

By doing so, he became the youngest race winner in the history of Formula One. Since his promotion, the 20-year-old has matched his more experienced teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, and given him a tough fight.

While the teammates remain amicable off the track, they have made for sensational viewing on it.

Luck seemed to have not been on Max’s side in the 2017 season. Despite holding a better qualifying record than Daniel, the Dutch racer failed to finish higher in the driver’s standing due to continual mechanical problem induced retirements.

His 2018 season has been one to forget. For the first six races, he has been involved in as many incidents, showing a lack of composure and room for improvement for the coming races.
