Max Verstappen: The Next Generation

- Season 1

(2015)

After dominating in karting, Max stunned the racing world by becoming the youngest F1 driver in history. As he steps into the limelight, he faces his first test in a show car run in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with thousands watching.

Team principal Franz Tost shows Max around the Scuderia Toro Rosso factory in Italy, to meet the team that will work on his car. After some simulator work, Max gets behind the wheel at the Adria International Raceway to earn his F1 super licence.

Before he can move to the next level, Max must finish the last two F3 championship races. Under the gaze of his parents and ever-increasing media attention, Max races with the same team that launched his father to F1 more than 20 years earlier.

As his first F1 race approaches, Max trains his body to withstand the rigours of professional driving. Then, in his final race as a junior driver, Max must leave it all out on the track at the world famous invite-only Macau Grand Prix.

Max takes time off from his F1 preparations to get back to his roots: go-karting on his home track in Genk, Belgium. On a track steeped in history for the Verstappen family, Max proves that racing runs in his blood.

Just weeks away from making history, Max meets his new Scuderia Toro Rosso team-mates, including fellow rookie driver Carlos Sainz. Then, at the Misano World Circuit in Italy, Max finally tests his own F1 car.
