Max Verstappen: The Inside Track on a Formula One Star

Product Information

Under Belgian law, a financial settlement with the victim can reduce a defendant’s sentence, and sure enough the Verstappens, both of whom were found guilty of assault, got the chequebook out and were handed five-year suspended sentences each. The prescience of that comment, which turned out not to be optimistic enough when you consider that Max made his F1 debut four years earlier than that, was not merely the exuberance of a new father. Verstappen then started dating Kvyat’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, and is now stepfather to Kvyat’s son.

Born into motorsport, Max started karting aged four and in 2015 became the youngest driver ever to race in F1, less than six months after his 17th birthday. Hughes' immaculate credentials and first-rate access enable him to generate fresh and fascinating insights, and to paint a fully-rounded and richly-textured portrait of one of the most exciting young sportsmen on the planet. It's written as though the author spoke to no-one involved, least of all Max, with a very "unofficial biography" feel to it.

I thought this was a really good overview of how Max got to where he is today and a really good analysis of his driving style and how unique he is compared to other drivers. However as a native Dutch speaker i can see the translations of the dutch sources ( for example quotes of his mum ) are being done by a bot or google translate or so. A thorough biography that not only focuses on Max but his parents and their ties to racing and everyone else in RBR like Marko and Mateschitz. Transfer to Red Bull: Max was elevated to the ‘senior’ team for the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix — and almost miraculously became F1’s youngest ever winner first time out.

It had some interesting points about Max’s record breaking journey into F1 and his dominant skills as a driver, but I was looking for more in terms of his own story not his father’s (who is a total dick and was given way to much attention in this for the drama). Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, an increasingly animated figure as the year wore on, was straight on the radio to Masi.
