Why Max Verstappen's junior career was AMAZING

Go to buyraycon.com/joshrevell for up to 20% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon.
Holland's best export is currently at the forefront of the Formula 1 title race. Max Verstappen's Formula 1 career thus far has been impressive to say the least, and it will continue on into the future. The groundwork for getting him into the sport however, was equally as remarkable.

Not to say I knew he was good before he was in F1 but..... I knew he was good before he was in F1! Seriously, anybody who was watching that 2014 F3 series at the time will surely agree, he was an absolute sensation. Yes, Ocon was ultimately more consistent and he deservedly won the title, but Max was the standout driver that year with his pure skill behind the wheel showing through. Especially when you consider it was his first car racing season. Also really appreciate Josh's comments about just appreciating Max for the insanely skilled driver he is. I've really never understood where people get off hating on him. Is he a straight talker? Hell yes. And that's not a bad thing. F1 badly needs more people who just cut through all the BS and speak their mind. He's not immature. He's not the impudent child people think he is. He's a very talented racing driver, and we really should appreciate that more. Drivers such as Ronnie Peterson or Ayrton Senna remind us of how sometimes we don't know what we've got until it's gone. I'm not saying Verstappen is going to get killed, but please people! Just enjoy this talent while you can, he is a special driver and to hate on him is missing the point of being an F1 fan entirely.

I have seen a lot of the current drivers race the F3 round at Spa and from them all (Leclerc, Norris, Stroll, …) was Max the one that really stuck. I also saw him do some karting back in the day (at Genk) and he was one of a kind. You see talent like that just once every few decades. Fan or not, you got to respect his talent.

[@hallamhal]

I love how you've done the 'origin stories' for both Max and Lewis now - really upping the tension for the title fight this year!

WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!

[@SPRSinglePlayerRacing]

Thanks for being a voice of reason Josh, another fantastic and balanced video. I really wish the negativity and hatred expressed by some "fans" against their driver's rival, be that Lewis or Max, could be more objective and respectful. Two phenomenal drivers at the top of their game, we're genuinely experiencing history for our sport, but it's being drowned out by a tirade of ill informed abuse from the partizan supporters of both sides.

It was just simply simply lovely

Kyle, your videos are simply fantastic! Thank you bro

Hé won almost every kart championsships And in f3 hé was right on the pace in his 1st year

[@GPitstra37]

Smart from Red Bull.. Ferrari and Mercedes were also offering reserve and test drives for Max.. but Red Bull having Toro Rosso on the grid they offered him an actual Grand Prix seat. And a way more trust worthy future

[@Mumugen]

Love that last shot, nice touch 👌

6 A.M. here in NJ been up all night because I put down one of my dogs yesterday. Josh, gotta say your F1 videos are top tier bruhhh, as a Hamilton fan this year has been fuqing epic. Best I've seen since 2012 or 07.

[@lyks1727]

I fell in love with redbull cus of him. I pray he wins 🏆 lets go super max max!!

[@AlanDoveKarting]

He lost the 2013 World Karting Championship to a Postman True Story... look it up. By the way, the 2013 KZ World Championship (KZ is the gearbox category) was more of an achievement than given credit here. He was up against seasoned professionals. He wasn't really racing peers other than LeClerc who to be fair finished 2nd.

[@nielsvanbezouw5207]

Great video Josh!

Bruuuhhhh

[@jkliao6486]

If there really is something people can point their fingers at, it's that because he was very young entering F1, he was a bit immature. Namely crashing everywhere without thinking about the consequences. But as of 2019 and later, Max is a much more mature driver and is a completely different driver from his old self.

[@tjallilex1199]

2 once in a Generation Talent against eachother Neck and Neck ! What a year of F1 we are having

[@karlash3769]

hate to be that guy buck, lewis has literally been in the bets car/team very year expect 2104 when merc where focused on the 2015 rule changes... Great driver but honestly nothing Kimmi, Mika, Michael, Max , seb or fernando couldnt have done. 100% guarantee switch Lewis for any of those names listed and put them in the car lewis had and they would have achieved equal if not better.

[@daksh2953]

@@karlash3769 i would suggest you to read your and my comment one more time. Nowhere I say others are below Lewis. You shouldn't forget 2007-08 when comparing Lewis. He is a once in generation or few in a generation talent, there is no doubt in that. Max too is one such talent . Michael too was, Sebastian too is. Alonso is talented but made really bad choices with his timing of team shifting

[@karlash3769]

@@daksh2953 the fact you think that farrari was a better car in 2018 shows your lack of knowledge.... And if Vettel was so bad or weak as a driver was was his team mate as far away from Lewis as Vettel was? Since the hybrid ear, It's been Merc as the top then everyone else. This is honestly the first season a car can actually compete with Merc and even then it's only because Merc are make tons of mistakes. You want to blame Vettel for being a shit driver, oh and you want to talk about Aston Martin? It's a shit car is far worse than the car last year and if I'm not mistaken is Vettel not beating Strol?

[@theglitch312]

Did Josh just completely skip the one race that defined Max's F3 season? Okay, the 6 wins in a row was crazy. But what made that season was the Norisring round. Which one race, he dominated by being 1.5-2s a lap faster... Now, that's impressive. What's makes that stupid fast is that the track has a teensy tiny dry laptime of _only 50s..._ On a more conventional track, that translates to 3-4s faster per lap! Marko was on location that race, and that's when he pulled the trigger to sign Max.

[@RuudLang]

Excactly, in the wet He skipped it😳

[@francescoruggeri518]

Your videos are keeping me alive

[@JasonWingQuan]

People want to diminish him because he doesn't say what you want to hear. He is who he is, not what your image of him is. He isn't going to bow down to other drivers just because they have been there longer or have a longer list of accolades, he is going to drive to the best of his abilities and let the chips fall as they may. When he says winning the F1 WDC won't change his life, people lost their minds, but I believe him. He is confident in who he is and doesn't need validation like people demand he should.

[@dbzeroproduction1159]

124 points difference is still better then perez current 209 points with still like 5 races to go 😂

[@d_evil075]

I'm a very new f1 fan but Max's discipline on trach is commendable like spotless racing at times, combined with no trash class by rb like merc did so many times. They deserve it

[@m.sydneyvern2260]

Again both Lewis and Max had amazing junior careers! Which what makes the 2021 title fight so amazing seeing how much level of skill they both have and being Youth Dutchman with an army behind him vs the Experience 7 time world champ... May the best man win!

[@Shambley1]

From what I remember about Max's junior career there were two potential outcomes to his races, either he was going to win or crash trying to do it.

[@rohithiyyattil8519]

I can see hints of Senna's character in Max...

[@santiagoperez2094]

The only reas9n his father isnt considered a goat by a lot of people ita because he got squished in between two titans, senna and schumacker, with a lot of monsters in between. Something similar happend to alonso and raikkonen.

[@austinreed5805]

Max has had one helluva career so far. I believe that he will be one of the greatest drivers of the 2020’s.

[@ia303]

without a doubt. Although it remains to be seen how he stacks up against George and Lando in somewhat equal machinery (we saw him vs Charles in a few races in 2019). Some amazing years to come. The future of F1 is in good hands. It wasn't looking that good 5 or so years ago if we're being honest.

[@theglitch312]
