It has been more than five years since we first saw Max Verstappen in Formula 1. Red Bull Racing gave the then 17-year-old Dutchman the chance to drive for the junior team Toro Rosso, which nowadays goes through life as AlphaTauri.

In 2015 Verstappen immediately showed that he was the new big thing of Formula 1. He was immediately compared to legendary drivers such as Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. It didn't take the Dutchman long to get used to Formula 1. Already in his second race he scored points and almost made it to the podium twice with his Toro Rosso.
