At just 17 years old, Max Verstappen broke the record to become the youngest driver to have won a Formula One Grand Prix. His past two races here in Singapore saw him bagging the 8th and 6th positions respectively.
Last year, he came face to face with a monitor lizard that invaded the tracks during the final practice. His biggest challenge this time round? Singapore’s weather.
“The last few months, I’ve done some heat training and also just sitting in the sauna to get used to the sweating,” he tells The Straits Times.
