Verstappen was born on September 30, 1997 in Hasselt, Belgium. He is the son of former F1 driver Jos Verstappen, whose career in Formula One spanned from 1994-2003.
The Dutchman is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Formula One, and became the sport’s youngest ever competitor at the age of just 17.
