The Dutchman is set to make history and become the youngest ever F1 driver when he debuts next year.

 

Rising star Max Verstappen is set to become the youngest driver in Formula One history next year as the Dutchman joins Daniil Kvyat at Scuderia Toro Rosso for 2015, and will drive for the team aged just 17.

Verstappen has set the world alight in his first year in single-seaters, winning eight races so far in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship and with a shot of the title.

This of course means the return of the Verstappen name to Formula One, after Max’s father, Jos, drove for the likes of Benetton, Stewart and Arrows between 1994 and 2003.

Max is set to make his debut for Torro Rosso, aged 17, at the 2015 Australian Grand Prix.
