4. He started racing when he was only 4
Being so good this young is not a magic trick from Jos Verstappen and Sophie Kumpen. It took a lot of hard work and determination. Not just from the parents, but from little Max also.
Max started it all so young. He competed in a Karting competition when he was only four years old. While other kids were busy playing dirt, Max was riding on it.
Max first competed in the Mini Junior championship of his home province of Limburg, Belgium. He might not win, but he definitely has got the better of his skills.
From time to time, little Max visited his father at work. And that is the Formula 1 race track. Now, he is following his footsteps and making him proud.
