Biography
Max Emilian Verstappen is a Dutch and Belgian racing driver competing under the Dutch flag for Red Bull Racing. Born 30 September 1997 in Hasselt and raised in Maaseik, he is the son of Dutch former Formula One driver Jos Verstappen and Belgian former kart racer Sophie Kumhen. After a record-breaking 2013 karting season, Verstappen signed for Toro Rosso in 2015 as the youngest driver in Formula One history at age 17, then won the Spanish Grand Prix at 18—the youngest-ever Grand Prix winner. He has won four consecutive World Drivers' Championship titles from 2021 to 2024, becoming the first World Drivers' Champion from the Netherlands in 2021 after overtaking Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of the season. Verstappen achieved further dominance in 2022 and 2023, overturning the largest points deficit in Formula One history in the former season. In 2024, he secured his fourth consecutive title, winning nine Grands Prix including an acclaimed wet-weather performance in São Paulo. As of the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, Verstappen holds 71 race wins, 48 pole positions, 37 fastest laps, and 127 podiums. He holds multiple Formula One records: most wins in a season (19), most podium finishes in a season (21), most consecutive wins (10), and most consecutive pole positions (8, shared with Ayrton Senna). A Libra (born 30 September), he embodies calculated strategy and competitive drive. Racing drivers are professional motorsports athletes who compete in high-speed events, optimize vehicle performance, and manage risk under extreme pressure. A Dutch national, Verstappen was listed in Time's 100 most influential people in 2024 and appointed an Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 2022. He runs Verstappen Racing, competes in sports car racing, and has won multiple professional sim racing events since 2015.
