Verstappen eager for battle in 2015

Max Verstappen was able to prepare for its first season in F1 by participating in post-season testing in Abu Dhabi. Despite mechanical problems disrupting his first day, the future youngest driver in F1 was able to make up part of his delay on the second day. “It was fantastic to know that I was really starting to work towards the next season. It's no longer like when I got behind the wheel during free practice and had to return the car at the end of the session.", said the 17-year-old Dutchman on the official website of the discipline. “It was hard to convince myself to stop for lunch, even after four hours of work.

Max Verstappen optimized his time on track at the Yas Marina circuit to gain maximum experience and familiarize himself with his new team after driving in F3 European Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing where he took third place in the Championship for his first season in car. “I focused on the long relays without worrying about the times. I don't need to show off my speed just yet. This is not the case for drivers who only have one day of testing, but it's a different story for me. I had to work on what the team wanted to test.
