**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE**

Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor
in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand
Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap.
As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since
that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and
plaudits in equal measure.
Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make
Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their
orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.
