Watch the second part here, after he switches to fresh tyres and sets the fastest lap, 51.020" czcams.com/video/K7ageqYs_7A/video.html
it's amazing that two years after karting he was already in F1
Actually crazy
Only one year actually. One season of F3. So technically in F1 one year after karting.
312 days
yes, but he wasn’t ready for f1
You sure? It took him just another 14 days to get his first F1 points at a 7th place.@@stf_24k
The difference in pace after he got from behind the first kid is astounding
It's a free practice session as mentioned in the description. Everyone runs a different program, different set up. Some might have gone for a 2-lap qualifying simulation, some on old tires for race heats, some or new. Max went for 2 new sets of tires and smashed the lap record (which lasted until last year I believe), but nobody was trying to race each other at this point.
I'm from the UK and I'm coining the nickname of Max Traction for this guy. I'm positive he will be in F1 soon with his abilities.
hey fortune-teller ! :-)
I love to see his nickname being : Mad Max.
Jean Rikkie It may not surprise anyone that I remain confident that Verstappen will be an F1 champion, perhaps as early as 2017, and will likely go on to perhaps be the greatest F1 driver of all time.
2017 doesnt seem to be the year he's going to do it.
BUT...
I'll eat my hat if he doesnt become F1 Worldchampion, multiple times.
2018 his first Championship maybe?
Good call guys 👍
This guys pretty quick he should race in f1
they already run in F1, Max is a double champion today
@@ElExpartano r/whooosh
Have you ever heard about the word “joke”
@@ElExpartano bro he was being sarcastic 😂😂😂😂
@@ElExpartano r/superwhoooooooooosh
He has got such a good feel on the brakes! Insane 👌🏻
Fukkin good stuff ... max verstappen will go down as the greatest f1 driver when it is all said and done 🎉
Greatest driver 😂😂😂😂😂
Like him or not, there’s no denying the fact that he's one hell of a talent. If the Red Bull stays as strong as it currently is, the guy is gonna smash records left, right, and centre.
*more records
Just got the 10 races in a row record today. I dont like him as a person but his talent is beyond anything I have ever seen.
@@scrubplaceholder6216 what about him dont you like?
@@scrubplaceholder6216 well as a matter of fact you dont know him as a person :)
He smashed all records this season bro
He's so precise on the Circuit, incredibly confident. Its like the other guys are peasants compared to him, he's a force of nature
Max Verstappen you are the Champion! THE WORLD CHAMPION!!!
Lewis Hamilton & Max Verstappen❤🔥💯
breakes later than anyone else and hits the closest lines into corners pure feel....great stuff
**insert typical comment about how he's good and should be pro later or something**
Lol yes and that is so disgusting
Very edgy. Congratulations
Not so typical: 'Thats dangerous driving here'
based
You can see how extremely fast and consistent he is here. Im amazed!
The last 3 guys just waved him through haha. They were like "no chance Im keeping him behind anyways" haha
They are required to. If in carting, you won’t let the faster one behind you pass, you will be shown the blue flag and are forced to give up your position.
@@davidc.w.2908 actually that is not true. Kart racing is absolute racing, you're only shown the blue flag if you're being lapped. However, as I've mentioned on the description, this is the last Free Practice session before qualifying. Others run on old tires, others on new, others try 2 laps for qualifying and others a full 15-lap race simulation. There is no point racing each other as they're running different programmes so they let through anybody who's going faster at that point.
@@davidc.w.2908some let other drivers pass in order to follow them and ‘copy’ the faster driver’s lines and see where they’re gaining and losing out
this kid is currently the third time F1 world champion
He's thinking ahead all the time..amazing
my home town! first time i drove a kart. drive by it every day to work ...
and now he's an F1 world champion lol
again a world champion
2x
Brilliant to watch 👍👍👍
Can we get this guy in f1? I think he’ll do great
I have a gut feeling he could win 2 championships
@@WeirdBulldog hopefully after Lewis gets his 8th.
Bro He's At f1 What Are You Talking About?
@@HELIOS_RIZZ do you know joke???
@@HELIOS_RIZZ r/woosh
Getting this in my recommended after 9 years
It's like he smells their every mistake and eating them for lunch
at least two let him pass... no defending whatsoever, is that like a rule in karting, no hard battle if someones faster?
@@lenzdan seems to be the case
@@lenzdanas it’s just a practice session, a lot of drivers point others through so they can follow, to see wear they gain/loose time etc, or just they aren’t on a fast lap
@@lenzdan no it’s not a rule. You’re just a Lewis fan so you can’t see the world for how it is
@@Dacommenta anyone criticizing max = lewis fan. noted
The way he gets the front to grip up by transferring the weight around
im sure if he made a mistake or anything his father would be extremely sympathetic and understanding
Hello nah 😂
Hey now , his father would reward him with a free walk all the way home...
@@randar1969 He was told to drive home with his mother and sister 10 min behind them on the same road in Italy because they drove 1500km to see Max race and Max threw it away after one corner uninterested and unmotivated and could drive 1500km back home after a hour in Italy. That is normal in your family and creates social media trolls but in Dutch culture you don’t do that, we take kids serious, hold them responsible and prepare them for real life, tough love upbringing., specially when one kid does a expensive sport and the whole family lives for it.
See what mommy and daddy being your best friend brought you, nothing.
ain’t no way he pulled off the same dive bomb at the same corner like 8 times
It's a Free Practice session as mentioned on the description. They are not racing, everybody is running their program and staying out of each other's way.
He would be a good Red Bull driver
Naaah, I'm sure he will be a Ferrari driver. No success to be had at Red Bull.
This guy can be f1 world champion 🏆
He wouldnt have what it takes, f1 is a real competitive sport, lets see him make it to f2 first...
I agree, slow progression for this dude.
@@oneilclarke8494 definitely not the type of guy to win a wdc, better stick to karts
@@bendybam9630 lol
this guys pretty good i bet he'll be a 2x F1 world champion
It's all about cornering speed. Max is a beast.
This guys is actually great, he should be in F2 or even F1 as a reserve driver for Toro Rosso right now!
Might be a bit late for torro Rosso.....
Future 2-time (1-time non-hollow) world champion.
Now 2
His first world championship was my favorite I’ve ever watched and the only one I rewatch…the best. So speak for yourself. I can think of 6 championships just off the top of my head that ended with a winner that could be disputed under strict interpretations.
That's lame. Other people got 7 WDCs.
@@aaronwestley3239 6 of those were gifts with other teams not allowed to develop their engines
@@richy69ify cry harder mate
He needs to break the cost cap to win
Lol. Cry much? You know That Mercedes spent at least $20 million more, every year, than every other team, before the cost cap? That’s over 10 times as much as the overspending Red Bull did and which was disputable. In 2019 Mercedes spent $40 million more than Red Bull and you’re worrying about $2 million and think that’s unfair. If that’s the case, then ALL of Lewis Hamilton wins are equally unfair 😉
his kart is definately faster, a few of the guys let him by as well
This is not how this works...
In karting slipstream is noticable and he just exits corners better than others. Also in karting you shouldnt defend when someone is overtaking you side by side, because it is easy to lose control after the smallest bump.
@@jurekgadzinowski2895 I used to be a karter. Especially in professional karting, money & opportunities plays a part, and yes, he has a faster and better set-up kart. Plus 2 guys let him by as well..
@@vincent5302 this is so interesting as an f1 fan looking into the world of karting
Lmao
@@vincent5302 Source: trust me
Bro
Best driver.
god damn max
Wish I had ten per cent of his talent
dudes just built different
If this guy ever race in Formula 1, he will be a world champion 👍🏻
This guy’s pretty decent!
🏆👏
But do they all have the same karts?
This boy is talented, I think he will compete in F1 someday
A beast in the corners
Amazing, 2 years ago: racing karts, now: F1
He also raced formula 3
Crazy_Space_Monkey But he was also racing karts. And from a comparison point, karting to formula one in just 2 years. Just wow.
***** he's Dutch ;)
nd27781 ....
***** shumacher is dutch
The kid is smooth... Impressive to watch. He has the right surname but he can actually drive as well. I expect to see him in F1.
This comment aged very well
@@hamzahariate2880yes it did
Now that is how to drive a gearbox kart.
So fast into turns 1 + 2 he just breezed passed those guys.
Thumbs up for you my friend.
as a kart national chapion i can say this is one of the best pilots i ever seen.
national champion? which country
brazil
Yes he is Hollands biggest talent ever!!
joao roberto
You're the best Brazilian kart driver of last year?
no 2009
Oh MAN the POV of this video is great! I'm sitting here in my armchair and without realizing it, I find myself leaning into the turns! You can FEEL it!
This dude has talent. Excellent display of skill and concentration....amazing thru the s curves. Wow. Nice job.
Great driving! Thank you for the video!
Max Verstappen is a beast. Now we see where his aggressive driving all started.
Absolutely love this man... what a driver and what a great attitude, drive he as for just 19 🖒
It was refreshing to watch as he got into the rhythm after a few laps and started making up lots of time on corner entries, I wish I could do this kind of racing~ It looks like so much fun.
wow what a trip thanks for the upload:-):-)
After his recovery from last year crashing into Vettel, and in Shanghai last week he fought so clean and kept the same aggression...this is a kid who is passionate to win and learns from his mistakes. GO MAD MAX
And now he is the youngest driver to ever win a F1 race... Only 3 yrs later...
+Okeanos86 He's no Senna yet like everyone compares but he is one hell of a driver
true . senna is senna, schumi is schumi, max is max :)
+Okeanos86 one of the luckiest wins in f1 history ;P
he still won. can't deny that
Not more lucky than Hamiltons championship win in 08 tho..
Max you future F1 Champion , I wait for this!
nice prediction
Your still alive or did the MI5 find you.
Overtake is an art
So loved seeing the speed once the tyres warmed up. Reminded me when I smashed my friends when we had our Arrows. Max still hitting those corners hard and once he is the clear his rhythm was quick as they come.
excellent footage thanks for sharing it.... I raced karts in the early 70s chain saw engines on bare metal framing.
3 years later he wins his first Formula 1 race
awesome driver is what i saw.....awesome video....one of the best as far as iam concerned...
I'm impressed. His driving style is always very very clean. He seems to be ready for formula one cars.
Daniele Calzolato (Dan-C) Like you knew it :p
I've heard he got quite good chances in the next coming 2 Formula 1 races to reach top 5 spots, his car is pretty much disigned for that track and his engine is a bit weaker as the ones from the top, but his carcontroll is just as good and even better and the semitop
Daniele Calzolato you’re right
LOL...very clean style hahaahaha
more like when the cars he drive gets bigger he is getting "CLEANER"
FBI here
His line into the first turn is totally different from everyone else's; really nice to watch
so smooth good work
Wow! He has a "brazilian style", hits the brakes late and deep in the corner, like Ayrton; and shot without fear the kerbs, like Felipe Massa does. Interesting and promising pilot.
Rocky Slay Oh! LOL! Good joke! Almost fall in the provocation, but I noticed that no one can think that and it was all a joke!
Complimenti questo si che è guidare!!👏👏👏👏
That's driving ! Well done , smooth
Max hit that podium today in Australia for the first race of F1 in 2019! Finished P3.
True, but why you commenting here?
@@samsaliba1532 why not? LoL?
Is max already known as f1 racer in this video?
It's 2019 so I would hope so.
The G's a from just one lap would make your arms go numb!!
These brute force, stamina and skills required are incredible!
And this is just in a kart, can you imagine what an f1 car would be , damn i dont think i could do it for 2 laps with that kinda speed
@@jolanelebaut4666
In F1 its actually easier because you are almost lying down and the sides of the car support your body
Ow damn didnt know that
Eh, Genk isn’t that technical, sure it’s exhausting but nothing crazy, now something like Lonato or Casteletto, that’s incredible.
@@justicewarrior9187 It depends what you have driven before and a little bit of your age too etc. I was thinking F1 would be harder because of the much higher acceleration and breaking but if you know it's not I guess it just depends on person too? You don't really need any special "training" to drive a go-kart, just drive some laps over and over again and the stamina to drive will accumulate from there but in F1 you have to do some physical training.
2017 and he's had one of the best races in a long time for F1 in the wet!!!!
Watching this video....All of a sudden my Left foot came alive...!!!! Both of my feet suddenly came Alive...!! .and now my hands...!!! my focus suddenly attaks those braking points.... im in tranced for 7 minutes by the video.... Miss my karting days driving my HAASE 100cc watercooled Vortex in the 90's.... Great video..:-)
+RAIZAL MOHAMMAD - me too! My feet are alive and I'm leaning . . . .hahahaha - I had 3 SSC 250's - stupid for selling all of them - should' kept 1. . .
Left foot? U love braking?
Jos sad about his son some years ago already that he has his talent for pushing to the limit, but his mother's talent (who was a top kart driver too!) for having enough caution to actually take care of the material and finish the race more often than he did. So, he comes from a good breed from both sides. And I surely expect him to be a top formula 1 driver some day soon.
Guess what? he NOW is a F1 Driver for 2015 !!!!
WooHoo!! :-)
lunar lies amazing isnt it, said it when i saw him in f3, didnt expect it to go sooo fast, there is always lightning around this guy. hes very exciting to see on track nomatter what car he drives
Well said.
You got the last part wrong tho
Stiggy28 AcKCHually, he’s right.
Somewhere there's a wizard missing his left foot.
He makes up impossible amounts of time during big trail brakes.
Joseph Fabian I noticed that too. Check out 6:28 He brakes at the absolute last moment. Amazing.
+Jordan Clark That and CRG brakes are pretty much the best in the business
+Joseph Fabian Yes its hard to believe the way he is maneuvering through the field that any one of these drivers he is passing with ease would dust a regional or national event LOL. His feeling for the drive is unmatched
+Joseph Fabian That's how champions brake. His style seems similar to Michael Schumacher and Kimi Räikkönen.
Brian Chatfield yes well, seeing as this is only free practice, and the fact that they letting him through, doesn't really say much .
The way he manages the understeer when he goes hot into a corner when overtaking tells me that this guy is exceptional. This guy is really smooth and is a master of not breaking traction, unlike some of those other drivers on the track who were quick, but were correcting errors by breaking traction and sliding.
Amen
OMG that looks like sooooo much fun!
Max is the best overtaker
This guy has some skills! Also I am really impressed by the amount of grip he has, maybe I am used to horrible grip, but he didn't get any wheelspin at all!
DuckHunter think his driving style has him turning into corners sooner like an f1 car
Yes, I do that too. One my first race I placed 3d, I am generarly a very aggressive and fast driver. I generarly follow the racing line, but i sometimes get wheelspin.
DuckHunter Take some lessons from Jackie Stewart, be smooth and not aggressive. Max drives very smooth here in my opinion. I think your aggressive style overheats the rear tyres. Either that or you don't push the tyres enough and they are too cold, but if you're an experienced driver I honestly doubt that.
So try to calculate the smoothest line to pass an opponent and set him up. Often when you make a few jabs an opponent will end up driving a tight defensive line. In the right corner sequence you just need to have a higher exit speed (late apex) and you will often pass on the next corner.
One other thing can be on how you handle weight transfer. I hardly move my body in the kart, but most guys I see with wheelspin or even spinning end up leaning too much into the corners. That or their seat is too far forward and that puts the center of gravity too far forward, in other words there isn't enough pressure on the rear driven wheels.
My tip...you can practice driving and racing techniques if you get a sim racing rig and a good simulation game. My preference is Project CARS and the Formula Gulf (drives like a big kart). It has helped me a lot in learning to judge corners and their various apex points quickly on the fly, as well as generally also being able to grasp unknown tracks more quickly.
Last karting heat I started 3 laps late and still was 1st place with ease on an unknown track, with 2 seconds ahead of 2nd place. This was by fastest lap btw. Only once I had a nice drift due to my slicks getting wet because of a wet patch on the track, but other than that I didn't have a single case of wheelspin. It was a nice heat.
Very nice tips. I've got to known the racing driving style by watching f1 and other types of racing, and playing racing video games.
My style is aggressive, but sophisticated. I usually get to drive kart a few times a year, so don't get to choose a kart, or set it up to my own preferences, nor do I know how.
What is good, is that I can adapt to different karts and circuits really easily, and perform just as good. I try to be smooth, while maintaining reallly high speeds. When I get behind someone, I won't let him go more than 1m away from me, Only way he's getting rid of me, is by getting overtaken by me. I really like driving any sort of vehile to be honest.
DuckHunter I am the same. I just drive the rentals basically.
There is no single racing driving style though. As far as I can see the driving style is derived from the mentality and emotions of the driver. Prost was 'The Professor' a thinker, but Senna was an emotional man. One thinks more corners ahead and is cool, while the other does also plan ahead but easily gets heated up emotionally while driving.
The thing is that no matter what you have to adapt your driving style to the situation at all times, because both the kart and track change nature every lap. So when your rear tyres get too hot and slippery you have to become more calculating and tacticle with the attacks on your opponent. Sticking to his rear by 1m doesn't help as you will just end up driving his line on the track, because you essentially get caught up in his rhythm.
That said, maintaining speed through all corners doesn't always give a faster laptime. Cause the exit of a corner is more important than the entry, so slow in fast out. So what in essence you should maintain is not speed but momentum, or put differently... you need to minimize the effort the kart engine has to make to increase speed again. If there is too much scrub or resistance on the wheels at exit it will slow down your acceleration. That is what it means to be smooth. Easiest way is to try to minimize your steering input, become more economical/efficient. Or as Jackie would word it... be gentle with it, feed it in so that the kart can respond. Cause if you suddenly jerk the wheel it will upset the kart and it will do things you don't want.
In the end if you spare your tyres and brakes, you can be aggressive and heated when the time is right. However, if you are a constantly aggressive driver and wear out your tyres and brakes quickly or overheat either than you will end up limiting yourself. You can only be aggressive for so long until something stops working efficiently and stopping you from being fast enough.
I love driving any vehicle as well. I own a Lancia Delta model that came after the famous Integrale. It doesn't look like much, but still people like to race me every once in a while or just move aside (M3, RS4, TT, etc). I don't know why though, as I only have a 105hp 1.6 16v engine in that little car of mine. So it's nothing special. Maybe it's the aura of me the driver and the driving style I have, even though I am driving within the limits of traffic laws. I really have no clue.
Damn fast on the track - damn fast in the pit lane, too :-)
Awesome driving mate
Verstappen was born to drive fast cars ! He is a shark on road !!
the hardest part about gokarting is not crashing into the slow ass mother fuckers that cant drive
All of these Guys can drive its the european championship
Hum I somewhat disagree the hard part of karting is being good enough to not hit the slower drivers... If your racing around and struggling to avoid bad drivers or back markers then your just as bad a driver as they are. But yeah a lot of the times it's hard to avoid the twats.

nice man so awesome, watched the hole race, just missed the finish line :D
Driving these things are really stressful, so much harder than it looks.
Amazing drive
He is amazing
Need more places to pass....bridges, hill turns, long straight aways etc. Wider lanes in certain places, maybe a 2 story step down to underpass, corkscrew to a swirly staircase like incline
Clark Kent
And cars still wouldn’t manage a pass.
MAX 1ST PLACE SPANISH GRAND PRIX
Great footage, good to see the track again but this time from the tarmac :)
He's killer into that first right hand combination, waits way later to brake then the others. It looked like he was a little down on power in the straights though. In my book that's not a bad thing, it makes him work harder in the corners and learn how to carry speed. He's an impressive young racer.
505197
Youngest Formula 1 driver ever, he made it this year ;) and rumours are he got good chances to a top 5 spot on silverstone, 5 juli.
zezizarjaars I just discovered that! Guess it shows I know talent when I see it. LOL I don't have cable so I don't see much F1, I try to keep up with news on the net. I guess it helps a ton if your dad was a driver in terms of access. I"ve always said that there are hundreds if not thousands just as capable for every driver that makes it into the big time, they just don't have the connections, money, etc.
505197 True, but that's with loads of sports, no matter how good you are, you still need some luck in your life.
Take a look at Messi, when he was young he often got chosen as latest, simply because he was small. When he was 16 he went to Holland to join the world cup under 18.
He sat on the bench, but there was a guy that knew about his skills, but sadly this wasn't his coach at the time. That person was Piet de Visser, one of the best talentspotters in the world. The youthcoach of Argentina didn't listen to him, simply because he didn't know him. Piet de Visser somehow knew how to get in contact with Maradonna, Maradonna who didn't knew about Messi at the time. He phoned Maradonna and told him that youthcoach should let Messi play.
Eventually Messi was allowed to play, Argentina won that tournament, became worldchampion under 18 and Lionell Messi became the player of the tournament.
After that Messi's carreer skyrocketed.
Funny thing, Messi himself has probably never heard of Piet de Visser and probably doesn't even know this story.
