What Were You Doing At 17?

MAX VERSTAPPEN HOLDS several records in the Formula One world and all of them have to do with his age. The now 20-year-old has to his name, records such as: youngest driver to start a race (17 years, 166 days), youngest winner (18 years, 228 days) and a string of others such as youngest driver to set fastest lap, youngest to score a podium finish and youngest to score points.

Recently in town for the Singapore Grand Prix where he added on to his growing number of first lap crashes (no thanks to the Ferrari team), Verstappen shared a little with us before the race on what it means to be youngblood in the fast-paced world of Formula One.
