Description
This biography follows Max Verstappen’s rise to Formula 1 glory as a superstar, a major rival of Lewis Hamilton and a three-time winner of the World Drivers’ Championship. The 2021 season reached a breathless and controversial climax when Verstappen overtook seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes on the final lap of the last race to secure first place and his first world title. He went on to win the 2022 and 2023 championships as well. At only 26, the Dutch motorsport sensation has already left an indelible mark on Formula 1. The son of F1 driver Jos Verstappen, he quickly stepped out of his father’s shadow through his youthful charisma, ferocious speed, fearless driving style and refusal to back down. His worldwide popularity has grown further through the success of the Netflix documentary series Drive to Survive. Motorsport writer and F1 insider Mark Hughes draws on his experience and access to offer fresh insights into Verstappen’s remarkable progress through the ranks and a detailed portrait of one of the sport’s most exciting young competitors.
