Well....Max is now 3x champion, about to be 4. He was in basically the worst F3 car and look how that happened. In f1 if he's given the third best war he will wring out wins, even if not a championship
It's wonderful seeing these comments from 8 years ago. Who knew we would be witnessing a racer that has phenomenal ability as well as brilliant awareness and defensive driving could so easily transfer that talent to F1 - many show promise but not all can do it at the highest level!
The F1 big bosses are smarter then you, which isn't hard actually. Max his first year in Formula cars and he drove a Van Amersfoort car, Ocon started in 2012 with Formula cars and drove a Prema. Yeah they all get the same stuff but Prema was the topteam, Van Amersfoort a midfield team at best.
Spectacular footage. Wow. This is gold man. Already at that time, Verstappen's absolute brilliance and domination came through. This was a true joy to watch, very exciting, thanks for posting!
Just remembered about this video I watched 7 years ago when we were told that there's a Verstappen who looks very promising and will be joining F1 for 2015. Watching this here I was immediately impressed, and soon Max impressed with his first season in F1 as well. Today there's no doubt he's the current top driver in F1 and also seems to be becoming the most popular one too. I hope he converts a season of excellence into a first driver's title.
Those are some nice words mate. Super happy I got to create this for all the F1 fans out there back in the day. Humbled you remembered this video. The World Champion <3
0:17 Kind of a poorly timed overtake! But this is young max -- pure raw speed and overtaking ability, just not the mastermind that he is now! The ultimate driver on the grid!
