6. 2016 is only his second season in Formula 1
Formula 1 is a tough competition. To win a race, you can’t just be fast. There are a lot of things you need to master. A Formula 1 car is highly sophisticated.
Usually, it takes a lot of time for a professional driver to adapt to the Formula 1 world before they could even shine and be the best of themselves. For Max, he only needs one and a half season.
In 2014 he became the test driver for Toro Rosso team. He had to wait to turn 18 to join the team as the front runner.
His chance came in 2015. It was his first F1 racing season with the same team. His highest achievement was finishing in 4th place twice. And now he is one of the front runners of Red Bull Racing team.
