In most countries around the world, 16-year-olds have to wait for another two years to be able to drive a car. Not so for 16-year-old Max Verstappen. He has just been signed up to drive for a Formula 1 racing team. He will become the youngest ever F1 driver when he races for the Toro Rosso team next year. He will be 17 when he takes part in his first Grand Prix, alongside drivers like Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. The current record for the youngest F1 driver is 19 years and 125 days. Verstappen will make his debut at the Australian Grand Prix. He told reporters: "Ever since I was seven years old, Formula 1 has been my career goal, so this opportunity is truly a dream come true."
在世界上的大部分国家，16岁的少年想要开车，还需要再等两年。然而16岁的Max Verstappen却是个例外。他刚刚与一个一级方程式赛车队签约。明年他将代表红牛二车队参加比赛，那时他将成为有史以来最年轻的一级方程式赛车选手。他在17岁的时候将会首次参加国际汽车大奖赛，那时他将与费尔南多•阿隆索，刘易斯•汉密尔顿和赛巴斯蒂安•维泰尔一起比赛。目前最年轻的一级方程式赛车选手年龄记录为19岁125天。Verstappen的首秀将在澳大利亚国际汽车大奖赛上演。他告诉记者，当他只有7岁的时候，一级方程式赛车就是他的职业梦想，所以这次确实是使他梦想成真的好机会。
