FIA boss Jean Todt is full of praise for Max Verstappen. The madness of the Max Verstappen fans is going all over the world and on more and more circuits (before the corona time), there were Max Verstappen stands. According to Todt, the 23-year-old driver is very important to Formula 1.
Max Verstappen and his fans have ensured that Formula 1 returns to Zandvoort after 36 years. This was actually 35, but due to the corona outbreak, this was postponed for a year. Everywhere where Max races you can find orange shirts that encourage the Dutch.
According to Todt, the Red Bull Racing driver is really a driver with motorsport in his blood. “Max Verstappen is very important to the sport. He has a strong personality. It’s good to have leaders like that, in whatever sport. Max grew up in this world, was four years old when he started karting, has good genes and is immensely talented. ”
Before, you did not need a driver’s license to drive in Formula 1. Max Verstappen was 17 years old when he debuted and did not have a driver’s license at the time. The rules were adjusted after the arrival of the Dutchman, because the FIA president did not feel good about it. With a super license you can participate in Formula 1 and the following is now also required a driver’s license. “If you want to have a super license to enter Formula 1, you have to have a driver’s license,” Todt told De Telegraaf.

Jean Todt believes that there is still a lot of talent in Dutch motorsport youth. “The Netherlands has about eight million inhabitants, right?”
After this, the reporter tells that the Netherlands has more than double the number of inhabitants, for which Todt apologizes. “It’s about the education and the basics, not about the population. We need more women! I hope the Netherlands will produce another Max Verstappen, but with a skirt on,” said the Frenchman.
