Max Verstappen Net Worth and Career Earnings 2022 : How much money does 2021 World Champion make?

Max Verstappen won his maiden championship in the 2021 season and also extended his contract with the Red Bull till 2028.

Max Verstappen debuted in F1 at the age of 17 in 2015 with Red Bull. The Dutchman moved to F1 directly from F3 taking a seat next to Carlos Sainz in Toro Rosso.

He also got involved in a fierce battle with Lewis Hamilton in 2021 to win the drivers’ title which he eventually did. Following the intense rivalry, Verstappen got labelled as one of the best drivers on the grid.

Having joined the sport at such a young age, Verstappen holds several records to himself. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap.

On record that he could not make his own was the youngest pole sitter. This particular record still belongs to Sebastian Vettel.

By the end of the 2021 season, Verstappen had scored 20 wins and 60 podiums in his F1 career and had made over 141 race starts.
