Max Verstappen was trying to chase down Lewis Hamilton in the final stages of the most dramatic title race of the modern era, the two drivers perfectly level on points before the race but the British driver now ahead on the track.

In May 1998, an argument broke out at a karting track in the Belgian town of Lanaken between Jos, who was there with his father, his group of friends and another group who wanted to use the facility. The first few chapters did go into a commentary on F1’s history in all spheres of Max’s background (his father, both countries he’s associated with) and could have been shorter and more focus on could have been on his F1 career, but it was a decent read overall. The early chapters deal with Jos Verstappen (warts and all), Max’s Belgium birth but Dutch racing upbringing, his family life and Jos’ hardcore grooming of Max through the junior Dutch and European karting championships up to F3. Even in that very first experience of F1 though, the watching media were treated to a reminder of the two-faced nature of speed. The official Max Verstappen Formula 1 yearbook 2022 (limited edition) is a stunning photographic overview of the entire world championship with race reports, results and reactions from Max of all Grands Prix in 2022, the year in which Verstappen won his second Formula 1 world title.

Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical. This unauthorised biography, written by a leading Dutch F1 journalist, examines Max’s remarkable rise to worldwide fame, covering every step of his career in detail as well providing insights into his spirited character and supreme talent. Being an unofficial biography has also allowed James Gray to give an uncensored portrayal of Max’s dad, Jos.
