Max Verstappen is a Dutch racing driver competing in Formula One for Red Bull Racing. Born to former Formula One driver Jos Verstappen, he holds both Dutch and Belgian nationality but races under the Dutch flag. Verstappen made his Formula One debut in 2015, becoming the youngest driver to compete in the sport at the time.
He is notable for his exceptional success in Formula One, having won four consecutive World Drivers' Championship titles from 2021 to 2024. With 68 Grand Prix victories across his career, Verstappen has established himself as one of the most dominant drivers in the sport's recent history, consistently performing at the highest level for Red Bull Racing.
Recently, Verstappen has been in the news regarding his performance at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. During qualifying sessions, he was competitive in wet conditions, with multiple reports indicating he secured a front-row starting position. However, he was ultimately bumped to second on the grid after Lando Norris claimed pole position in the challenging rainy conditions, with Verstappen himself describing the driving experience as particularly difficult.
