Verstappen may only be 26 years of age, but the Dutch motorsport sensation has an incredible record in F1. The official Max Verstappen Formula 1 yearbook 2022 (limited edition) is a stunning photographic overview of the entire world championship with race reports, results and reactions from Max of all Grands Prix in 2022, the year in which Verstappen won his second Formula 1 world title. The son of F1 driver Jos, Verstappen junior quickly stepped out of his father’s shadow: his youthful charisma, ferocious speed, fearless driving style and refusal to back down mark him out as a true champion.The championship beckons: following pandemic-afflicted 2020, Max soon emerged as championship favourite in 2021, intent on toppling Lewis Hamilton from his throne. In the modern era he might have been fast-tracked into a driver academy or one of the larger teams with seats in various series. Frans had been at parties like this before, but never with a Verstappen on the top step of the podium. If you’re a Max fan or enjoy reading some of the behind the scenes stories at Toro Rosso and Red Bull Racing, then you will mostly enjoy this book. And for the majority of the race, even as Sergio Perez played an invaluable pawn role in holding up Hamilton to bring Max back within a few seconds of the lead, it looked as though Mercedes would be celebrating and Red Bull would be litigating late into the Middle Eastern night and beyond.

He had a few moments earlier voiced his frustrations at the ‘typical’ decision not to let the cars unlap themselves and give him a shot at Hamilton. The story of his life is obviously not up to date considering that his career is still unfolding but it gives a very good idea of where he has come from.However as a native Dutch speaker i can see the translations of the dutch sources ( for example quotes of his mum ) are being done by a bot or google translate or so.
