He also took the time to thank and congratulate the parents of Verstappen.
Australian nine-time race winner Mark Webber follows. The former F1 driver goes through the Red Bull Racing driver's bizarre season in a bird's eye view: "Silverstone was wild, Baku was wild, Budapest was wild, Saudi Arabia was wild, Abu Dhabi was wild. You deserved it."
"It's no longer Jos the Boss, but Max the Boss," exclaims former driver Pedro de la Rosa in his congratulatory video. In the compilation, another congratulation from Verstappen's own country passes by. Ho-Pin Tung enjoys the driving style and talent of Verstappen to the fullest.
