Today, the Scuderia Toro Rosso F1 Team has confirmed their 2015 Driver-Line-Up, consisting of their current driver, Russian rookie, Daniil Kvyat and newly introduced into the Red Bull Junior Team, Dutch FIA Formula 3 driver, 16-year-old Max Verstappen.
Max will be the breaking the record of youngest F1 driver when he takes over the current seat of driver Jean-Eric Vergne, who will not be continuing on with the team. For JEV, it seems his F1 seat hunting has begun early. Max has also only competed in this year's Formula 3 championship. He has not completed a year with GP3 or GP2, which are both crucial championships that most drivers go through before their step-up into an F1 car.
While Verstappen has a huge amount of talent to prove, it's refreshing to see another young driver get the chance of a lifetime. There is no doubt he's been showcasing his talent, and the Toro Rosso team obviously can see he has a lot to show on their team. This signing will also make Toro Rosso the team with the youngest drivers on the 2015 grid so-far.
We send our congratulations to Max and wish him the best of luck for next year!
