Max Verstappen has become a major driver in Formula 1. The Dutchman has twice become world champion so far, and managed to win 38 races so far. The Red Bull driver himself has always believed in the process, he told Motorsport.com.

The youngest-ever debutant in Formula 1 is having an extraordinary career. Where things did not always go well in his early years in Formula 1, the Dutchman is now having fewer and fewer problems. In 2022, he managed to win no fewer than 15 races, which is a record in Formula 1. This year, Verstappen is also doing well: he is first in the world championship and has won three of the five races he has driven.

'Always believed in this project'

Despite things not always going well at the beginning of his career, the Dutchman has always been confident: "I have learned over the years to be very patient, but I always believed in this project because I saw how people worked and how motivated they were to reach the top."
