Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen is a Dutch Formula One driver who competes for Red Bull Racing. Born on September 30, 1997, in Hasselt, Belgium, Verstappen began karting at a young age and rose through the junior ranks to become one of the most successful young drivers in the sport. Verstappen made his Formula One debut in 2015 and has since become a multiple-time Grand Prix winner and a World Champion.

Verstappen is currently fifth in the 2026 F1 World Drivers' Championship standings after a mixed start to the season. He faced a time penalty in the Miami Grand Prix, which limited his damage and saw him finish fifth. The Dutch driver is set to face a loyalty test from Red Bull in 2026, with the team reportedly targeting Oscar Piastri as a potential replacement.
