Verstappen, of course, made his full F1 debut in 2015 at Toro Rosso as a Red Bull Junior driver, at just the age of 17 years old. He went on to make the switch to Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, after Daniil Kvyat was dropped back to the sister team. Want to work in Formula 1? Browse the latest F1 job...
