Max Verstappen: The Inside Track on a Formula One Star

Product Information

Initially, he was supposed to be a test driver in 1994 but when JJ Lehto broke his neck in a pre-season crash, Verstappen made his debut at the Brazilian Grand Prix alongside one Michael Schumacher.

And the phenomenal success of Netflix's Drive to Survive documentary series has elevated his worldwide popularity still further. Abu Dhabi had often been a place they had dominated the racing, but Red Bull had been close enough for Verstappen to pinch pole position on Saturday. One obvious omission in this book is the absence of any photography (other than the front and back covers). As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver.I loved that I got some background info on his teammates as well, but to be honest I knew them already from drive to survive or I was just learning them along the way.

Ed note: As this book has no illustrations, it’s been given 0 stars for visuals – unfortunately the site algorithm takes this into account when generating the overall total score stars rating. However as a native Dutch speaker i can see the translations of the dutch sources ( for example quotes of his mum ) are being done by a bot or google translate or so.Relive Max’s formative moments, racing success and explore what the future holds for this young talent. A group of men are dressed in traditional Flemish costume, which for the uninitiated might not look out of place in a German beer hall a few miles away, and they chant ‘Jos, Jos, Jos’, as well as some very lyric-heavy songs 7they have written about his exploits and heroism. The son of F1 driver Jos, Verstappen junior quickly stepped out of his father's shadow: his youthful charisma, ferocious speed, fearless driving style and refusal to back down mark him out as a true champion. Si eres fan de la fórmula 1 (o recien estás comenzado en este mundos), y quieres conocer más a fondo a una de sus principales estrella, este libro en 100% recomendable.

While Wolff tends to sit at a monitor in the garage, Horner prefers to be up on the pit wall with Adrian Newey, whose xtechnical brilliance has been at the heart of so much success at Red Bull, sitting on his left.

Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical. Material on this site includes photos of books and selected photographs for the purposes of comment, review and critique as permitted by applicable copyright laws. As a F1 fan, I knew Max was 90’s Dutch F1 driver Jos Verstappen’s son and a talented child prodigy with such a junior reputation good enough to be subject of an earnest bidding war between Red Bull (Helmut Marko), Ferrari and Mercedes (Toto Wolff). It is easy therefore to see how he might have been eager to throw his weight around, with an ego still inflated enough to believe he had been wronged and to ensure he would take umbrage at being asked to share or even vacate a parochial karting track. Biography: James Gray is a national newspaper journalist and broadcaster with nearly a decade of experience.
