The highlights of Verstappen's career according to Verstappen

Max Verstappen hasn't been a new face in Formula 1 for a long time. With more than five years of experience he is now part of the established order. When he looks back on his career so far for Red Bull.com, however, it can still be seen that he feels he is still at the beginning of his F1 career.

Indeed, of the five best moments of his career, only two took place in Formula 1 and they are both in fourth and fifth place. In fifth place he mentions something that is still fresh in his memory: the victory of the 70-year anniversary race at the Silverstone circuit almost two weeks ago now. In fourth place is his first victory at the Barcelona circuit in 2016.

Crucial moments before Formula 1

However, the two places above are reserved for two crucial racing weekends in his year in Formula 3. The race weekend at Spa-Francorchamps and the Norisring, when he won all three races both times. He also made such an impression in the rain that Helmut Marko immediately offered him a place at Toro Rosso.

However, Verstappen goes back another year for first place: the world title in karting in 2013. "It is the ultimate goal to win the world championship in karting. What made it even more special was that my dad was my engine tuner, so it was great to do it together", the Red Bull Racing driver says.
