Max Verstappen is undoubtedly one of the best drivers on the current grid as he has proved his brilliance week in and week out. The 25-year-old is already a two-time world champion and has already registered several records.
However, not many know of the struggles and hardships the Dutchman had to go through during his childhood to reach this stage. In his pursuit of greatness, Max had several interactions with his father, Jos, who was ruthless in his parenting.
Viaplay Netherlands is now coming out with a three-part documentary series called Max Verstappen: Anatomy of a Champion to share exclusive details of the relationship the Dutchman shared with Jos. The series will showcase how Jos’ intense parental style helped Max to become one of the greatest drivers seen in the sport today.
