Max Verstappen's Red Bull Racing career, from his Toro Rosso debut to four world championships.
Overview
Max Verstappen competes in Formula One for Red Bull Racing, where qualifying pace, race strategy, tyre management and clean wheel-to-wheel execution decide results. His 71 Grand Prix victories show a capacity to convert race weekends into wins, and his championship record points to sustained performance across a full season rather than isolated peaks. The role demands repeated delivery under changing fuel loads, track temperatures and tyre compounds.
At 28, Verstappen remains with Red Bull Racing for the 2026 Formula One season, carrying four drivers' championships. He finished last season as runner-up on 421 points, after a Formula One career that began at Scuderia Toro Rosso and has included podium finishes and pole positions. He represents the Kingdom of the Netherlands and has been named Dutch Sportsman of the Year.
