Max Verstappen is a bit of a prodigy. Sure, he just turned 18, but dude already has a full-time ride in Formula 1. He’s quick, too, as he demonstrated last year during his debut season at Scuderia Toro Rosso: Verstappen has already scored 49 career points, more than Brian Redman and Alan McNish and Derek Bell. Hell of an accomplishment, but in F1, driver publicity stunts come part-in-parcel with success. On a bad day, the team will creepily suspend you from high wires above a Turkish stage production of Fires of Anatolia. On a good one, they’ll airdrop an old F1 car with tire chains onto a ski course in Kitzbuhel, Austria, then have you drive up the side.
Max Verstappen had very good day.
