3. He won his first racing championship when he was 9
Even since his younger age, Max has already had a taste of victory. The first championship he won was the Minimax Championship in Belgium.
It was in 2006, the same year he graduated to the Rotax Max Minimax class. Then again in 2007, he won the same championship in Netherlands.
On the picture you see Max was competing in CRG kart. His father entered him to the competition. He won the Belgian cadet championship.
Even until today, Jos Verstappen is still beside Max. He is guiding his son to be the best. We could only imagine his feeling when he saw his son on top of the podium last week.
