Max Verstappen's Journey To Becoming a Three-Time F1 Champion 

“i would go to the go kart track and have some fun” that’s all you need to know about him and how much he lives and breaths the sport

That clip of the mechanics going crazy over the first title will never gets old

How he outdrove everyone in the rain, being that young, that will stay with me forever. Completely insane!!!

We all thought it was Albon. But the words before he sends Max off “This is it, This is it” is epic and keeps giving me goosebumps

It’s been a special ride with Max since 2015. What a time to be alive. 🦁

So many people is overlooking what is happening in front of our eyes with this guy. He is probably the most hardworking talent we have and ever will see in this sport.

He works so hard, man! It's amazing to see incredible machinery working close to perfection with the driver. Some argued that this season was boring, but we've never seen such competitiveness in a car-driver duo. Appreciate that because it is rare. It may never occur again. Congratulations to Red Bull for the amazing job. Ass: a Hamilton/Mercedes fan who learned to appreciate greatness.

Coming from a Hamilton fan, Max has grown on me quite a bit. Extremely deserving champion.

I feel really blessed that I get to see Max his extraordinary talent. I've bin watching F1 for 30 years and never seen anything like him. people who criticize him do so out of jealousy or envy. I can't wait for 2024!

WAIT THAT WAS NOT ALBON THAT WAS GP

Thank you to everyone who made this happen! 👏👏👏

The race in Brazil was where the whole world knew that this boy was of a different class then the rest of the field.

As a F1 fan and racing fan, I think it's absolutely brilliant what Max has shown to the world. Can't wait to see what the next season brings!

People who think what Max is doing is easy they don’t understand this sport. His expierence, race craft, conditioning, mental focus, etc is all at an elite level from a lifetime of training and racing. Throughout a Grand Prix weekend, in practise sessions, he is pushing and learning things about the car every session on every track, he takes no days off.

Very few drivers can compete and will ever be able to compete. A racer through and through and a thoroughbred winner. We're lucky to be able to witness Max race!

As a ferrari fan, I fully respect what he has achieved and he fully deserves it! Well done Max Verstappen

Never in any sport I felt the emotions of that 2021 last lap, the whole controversy made it even more sweet for me. A driver with a F… you attitude. Taking the championship like this was amazing after being the best driver all season but then taking the championship with a bit of luck as well. Simply a movie story.

I want to say thank you to Red Bull for having the patience and let him grow up from a teenager to the man he is now. He needed a warm team. I team that correct him when he was wrong and build that trust that he could do it. And he did it......... somethings made me speechless about his moves on track. He is a hell of a driver. Thank you Red Bull for giving him a seat at the age of 17.

We are all witnessing history now. We should enjoy him. We don’t see beast like him very often in F1. The consistency is so insane to watch. Every weekend he is 100% on point. I can only take my hat off to him and the team.

After that rainy brasil gp we knew he is special, seen Vettel and Schumacher drive in the wet and outperform the grid but what he was doing that day was probably as close as you can come to the limit in the rain in terms of speed and car controll

That moment always gives me goosebumps. "Safety car in this lap Max. Mode 1, Strat 1 and B-BAL Offset when you need it. This is it, this is it. Just think about your tools you need. Safety car turn 14. And you racing from the line. Safety car turn 15. Watch the weaving just stay on line now. Press and hold the overtake, press and hold the overtake. Just easy through turn 14. OH MY LORD MAX OH MY LORD!!!

He's writing his own chapter in the history books. Incredible. People will read/talk about this even long after we're gone. But we were privileged to witness it unfold ❤

15:48 That radio message is phenomenal

I’ve been a fan of Max since he was only knee high to a grasshopper, getting his first points in his first F1 race he ever finished in 2015…for me, it was about how the kid JUST DID NOT CARE about all the noise around him. And when he got in the car his eyes lit up and were terrible in the best possible way. This was a hungry driver. it’s been a great journey and now to see him a champion- we all knew it would come!

Seeing him win 3 WDC is something special. What a season he had!

Just so glad that I was able to witness such a historic season from Max and RB, it might take a long long while for anyone else to come close to whatever that has happened this year. What a surreal experience.

Aww that was nice hearing what his team thought of him back when he was a young driver! He basically grew up in RB and has been with them since the beginning. This was a nice video and really sweet :)

Love how there’s just a portion of the video dedicated to Maxiel

Max truly deserve to be 3 world champions and he has the potential to be come have more world champions in 2024❤❤❤

I did a presentation about Max back in back in 2013 when he was 15 years old, At that time I was still karting myself. Back then I already said that guy will end up in F1 because of his attitude and pure talent and surely will be a F1 world champion. For sure, I was right.

Max, you are my hero. Long live Max Verstappen 🦁 You are a true, genuine and most sincere driver, success never changed you, it just made you better. You are a true inspiration. Also, this could be a coming of age movie. Incredi-BULL ❤️

To all his haters: You will never ever witness a pure racing driver like Max ever again, he is the greatest to ever touch this sport. He lives and breathes motorsport, wants to race everything, is incredibly competitive in sim racing, spends his off time racing.. who else can you attribute that to? He is the GOAT, end of.

"he turned around and walked into a plate glass window" Honestly I could see Max doing that at this age lmaoo

This documentary was amazing. 17:23 goes especially hard, though. "Max won all the remaining races in 2023".

Very well produced and a fitting tribute to a boy that became a man and may very well become the greatest driver of all time. BRAVO MAX!

Apart from Max's first win, which was a big story in F1 at the time, I also first remember him from the 2016 Brazilian race in the wet. I was absolutely gob-smacked watching him pass world-class drivers like they were amateurs. Phenomenal then and phenomenal now. Thanks RBR for this feature.

This is why i dont get Max haters. Max is just really competitive. On and off the track. He has his goals and sticks by it.

we can all agree that Jos has created a monster of a driver

He is one of the most impressive drivers, I always saw how good he was even in his first F1 seasons. I think he is a great and very deserving champion

The first race in F1 I ever watched was the 70th Anniversary race at Silverstone & watching Max win that race at a track Mercedes always dominated at AGAINST THE W11 and won, legendary & been a huge fan ever since. 3 World titles and counting for my GOAT

for 2 years we thought it was Alex that screamed with Max but it was GP Greatest plot twist of 2021

what a talent... living legend... all class

Next year we're going to see a video titled "Max Verstappen: Journey of a 4 time world champion "

We have witnessed, not one of the, actually the greatest season ever by a driver and team in Formula 1. I havent seen anyone being at one with the car more than him. Godspeed Max, the guy lives and breathes this sport. Eagerly waiting for Mission 2024 😊

RBR fosters a sense of team spirit which no team can. Max is not only a champion but an inspiration for all those who want to win with every cell they have in them. His discipline is his greatest strength. PS: RBR you guys should make an animated movie. Cheers and thank you.

He’s an artist, give him a helmet and a car and you’ll get a masterpiece.

As a Formula 1 fan, you can only enojoy the greatness that is Max Verstappen and his team. There are no words to describe what he has accomplished this year. He has made one of the most competitive sports look so easy that people call it boring, but in the end the other teams and drivers are going to have to step up their game next year or it will be another Max solo. Congrats Max and congrats Red Bull, you were amazing!

This was a beautiful, honest presentation where everyone can see why the RB team & Max are a lot more than just team mates. They seamlessly work together to make each other perform even better than their best, knowing that Max will convert their had work & ingenuity into a race winning car.

Max made the whole team want to be better, be a champion in their own right with the same singleminded approach. It is safe to say that Max thought the whole team to be champions again. Trust went both ways and the results speak for its self. The team proved to be just as good as the RB19, just as unstoppable. Congrats everyone for keeping the faith and doing an excellent job. Not bad for a Fizzy drinks company.

The greatest ever and he’s not even hit his peak. No one outworks him and he’ll Continue to grow and improve

man u had me in tears yr first championship 2am in new zealand wow what a moment

Happy and proud 🇳🇱 to be living in your spacetime Max 👊

Max is not only a super driver, he is very intelligent as well!

the first years of max in f1 ... made me cry almost every time max got a podium and the moves he would make on the track ! what a joy it really is watching max doing so much greatness .

its so pretty hearing all of these nice words about max from christian

For me, Max is the 🐐

For me, what makes Verstappen (Max) even more special is the way he just keeps on making jokes. In the garage just before a session, but also in interviews, he's just having the time of his life driving an awesome car. Of course his relentless top level driving which just keeps going on and on has probably never been seen before, is unbelievable. But seeing how he is in interviews and online videos, he's just still a regular guy.... hats off

Redbull and max should always stay together. Two incredible forces operating at the highest level

Three years already... I remember the night day when it was announced that he would drive for Red Bull. And what a weekend it was. Had a hard time sleeping. I follow the sport since Spa '91, and also saw Jos driving. Never expected that he would produce such a beast of a driver. The roaring Lion! And then that day in Abu Dhabi. December 12th, just over three years ago. I sincerely think that the right man won the Championship. The other guy had a great end of the season. But what a season Max drove. And there was only one outcome that was the crown on this year. And that was Max being a deserved 1st time World Champion. Well deserved for him, for Red Bull Racing and Honda! The dedication of all three brought you to things never seen before! 💪🏆🏆🏆💪

hearing about a 17yo win at his debut made me come back to F1 watching that 2016 Interlagos race made me a Max Verstappen fan. in June 2024 i`ll see him racing live in Spielberg for the first time and i can't wait :)

2021 was the most spectacular final ever!!!!!!!

This video shows " teamwork makes dream work" truly 👏

It's beautiful to see that even though they win. They're still talking on their mistakes and how to improve those shortcomings. Well done Red Bull, Well done Max.

If you read this Max you should know that many many people knows you are best ! We could see that in early stages when you managed to split Mercs and beat ferraris whith slower car ,we knew if you get similar car or a bit faster car you would destroy competition mate ! And you did that like no one ever did before!!! With love from UK ,Russia and Latvia. Hope to meet you one day and ask you about how did you managed to keep Ham behind in Cota 2021 on those tires and about 2021 Jeddah Quali lap and 2021 Monaco Qualy lap (till bridge) 2023 Monaco Quali lap is insane! I'm watching F1 since 1996 and I never seen anything like it ❤

Seeing the mechanics react will never ever get old

4:07 Checo talking about Max is real love.

The master on 4 wheels!

Abu dhabi 2021 probably was the best feeling i have ever felt in my life.

Its been a pleasure to see max from his debut to 3 time world champion rn. Love it❤

I really admire you max because of your passion… its an evolution.

I will NEVER forget the last lap of 2021, it was a Sunday night for me, seeing Lewis at the front my heart sank to an all time low. And then that lap.... oh my ... that lap.. from such a low to almost screaming the roof off my house from elation was one for the BEST OF ALL TIME books of F1.... I find myself still watching it every now and again to relive that moment.... MAX VERSTAPPEN!!!!! G.O.A.T!!!!!!

The first f1 game I played was 2016. The first time I watched F1 was also 2016. Vettel quickly took my interests as i learned more about the current drivers. As well as Max. And after going back to watch some of maxs highlights and seeing that maiden win, it was Max who really got me into the sport. I have been a hardcore believer ever since! SUPER MAX! SUPER MAX!

Brazil 2016 was the day I became an Max fan

Man I love redbull for giving opportunities to drivers like Vettel and Max, go #redbullracing and thank you for bringing us these moments 🏁💯

Still emotional and getting goosbumps when i see this moments. The Team, mechanics, GP, Horner and dr Helmut Marko. A fantastic family ❤ 3 time world champion 💪. I am proud to be dutch , we as Dutch fan racing people dreamed about a winner in F1 and maybe a Dutch world Champion, we thought it wasn't possible. But there was Max, he came , he conquered and shattered many records. And still he is the same guy. He is Max Verstappen and no body of anything else, gets him of track. I am from my 8th year fan of Jos Verstappen, Max i have followed from karts and every F3 race and then every F1 race. I want to say to every body and to the Red Bull Team. Thank you Red Bull, thank you Dr. Helmut Marko, thank you Christian Horner, Thank you GP ( you are legend , brother from another mother with Max), and many thanx to al the mechanics ( you are the true legends what many people dont see). Last but not Least , thank you Jos Verstappen that you have made and learn your little kid to be the best F1 driver ever.. Jos Verstappen is my childhood Hero and Max is my all time LEGEND #Josverstappen #Maxverstappen #Verstappen #Max33 @MaxVerstappen #Verstappen #Max #Alltimelegend

Nothing but respect and admiration towards Verstappen

I watch F1 30+ years, loved it since I first saw it, but I couldn't be more proud than now. Followed Max his achievements since he was 14 and boy, do I love that boy!!!

It's about the journey, not the destination. I have been enjoying every bit of Max' journey and hope it will keep going for a long time.

It's breathtaking to witness the raw talent that is Max. I dare not draw comparison because it's obvious the bar he sets. His pace is terrifying!

Thank you Oracle Red Bull Racing for 3 amazing championship winning years. Really enjoyed this video, it shows how strong the family at Red Bull is.

Max tha lion ❤❤❤ from schumi old fan

I'm feeling privileged to be witnessing one of the greatest drivers of all time... Simply outstanding

Congratulations Max, I respect you

What a talent. Once in a generation.

A generational legend in the making.

Time to go for the record books of all time wins and championships!!!

I started watching F1 Max's first season, so I became a fan of the new guy. I remember him being VERY aggressive and the commentators even talking about his style. Abu Dhabi '21 is something I'll never forget and hearing GP screaming strikes emotion every time. Love him or hate him, he is possibly an all-time talent and will probably break most of not all the records.

Max lets everybody see what you can achieve if you're willing to work really hard for it. I know, i'm sounding like an old guy, saying everything was better in the old days, but I really feel Max should be the inspiration for our young people. Life just isn't a party all day, it's about working hard to achieve your goals. Hat's off for Max and I'm looking forward to many more years seeing him race.

how can you hate this guy, hes built to win andd race

I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY WE CANNOT APPRICIATE GREATNESS WHEN ITS INFRONT OF US!!! Love or hate Max you have to admire this guys work ethic, deserves the title. Yeah sure he was a bit hot headed at the start of his career but he was doing the same thing he's doing now but in a more mature manner. Props to Red bull for giving Max an even better car then he had in 21 & 22 but Max is t one with his car almost every time he drives. He broke so many records this season, Carried Red bull on his own shoulders which was an amazing thing to witness. Max is a 3x champion because He is a perfectionist, Everyone is quick to throw shit towards Max & it's been happening for years. Everything Max does needs to be done to a high standard! not 99% or even 100%. He's the type of driver that wants 110% perfection every time he sit in the car. Then you add his competitiveness. Max won this years title in Qatar, He could have raced the last 5 races in auto pilot but he still kept his head down like he was fighting for the title until the last race.

Simply lovely😎A season for the ages. Hats off to everyone that made this possible. Happy holidays everyone and till next year. Lets go!

He is the greatest of all time. And we are watching history being made. Fantastic video @redbullracing

F1 Skysport would ban this video. So many haters working at Formula 1. Its a disgrace. I hope Max and the team can do the same for the next season. ❤ Vamos Max

I remember shouting and wanting to shutdown the TV when they didn't give him the position back. What a journey since then!

I've been an F1 fan since 1997 (that year's Hungarian GP was my first). For years I'd been hoping we'd ever see a Dutch winner, but unfortunately, most of my countrymen had been in midfield or back marker teams. So when Max came into F1, at the tender age of 17 and performing the way he did in his first season, it gave me hope. I will never forget where I was when Max won his first race and never will I forget the incredible feeling of seeing him win his first title. Apart from getting married and becoming a father, nothing has come close to that feeling. To see him subsequently break almost every record conceivable in 2023 was just the cherry on top. Thank you Red Bull for making my and all other Dutch F1 fans dreams come true.

It wont be long before we see Super Max being as a 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, and 8 time WDC!!! LOVE YOU REDBULL!!❤

Watching the last lap from 2021 still gives me goosebumps, no matter how many times i watch !! That scream " oh my lord max " never leaves my mind ! It reminds me shouting so loud when he got his first championship 🏆 Max verstappen a legend ! A super human 🔥

We are witnessing greatest of the history! We'll realise this 10 years later.

Such an incredible journey. To have watching him fight his way to his first championship to now having this 3rd championship is incredible as a fan. I cannot imagine how incredible it is for those who make this their life goal and spend thousands and thousands of hours in pursuit of this incredible win. Great work.

Sometimes i forget im watching greatness, but when i see video's like these, they make me realise this whole happening is out of this world.
