As Max Verstappen prepares for his first race as the reigning F1 World Champion, we throw it back to 2015 when WIRED wrote about two 'promising' young teammates: 20-year old Carlos Sainz Jr., and 17-year old Verstappen: 📸: Scuderia Toro Rosso
Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz, Jr. have shown plenty of that talent this season. At the start of the 2015 season, Sainz was 20, Verstappen just 17 . That makes Verstappen the youngest F1 driver ever—and since the rules now bar anyone under 18 from competing, he'll hold the record indefinitely. Both rookies drive for Scuderia Toro Rosso, a mid-field team created in 2006. With two races left in this 2015 season, they've earned their place on the starting grid.
The key difference in F1, Verstappen says, is "You have to be much more professional." Mostly, that means spending your time training. That happens in three distinct places: at the gym, in the simulator, and on the track.Time in the gym isn't about getting ripped, it's about crafting your body so it's capable of standing up the brutal conditions of an F1 race.
Then it's into the simulator. Sainz and Verstappen spend up to two days a week virtually racing circuits around the world, while actually sitting in Milton Keynes, England. The graphics aren't mind-blowing, but the tracks are faithfully recreated, which is what drivers, especially rookies, need to get familiar.
