Watch George Russell's onboard laps at La Conca 2013 here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/eoifroafaaGLloU.html

Just 3 years later he won his first F1 race, crazy

So precise and consistent after he takes the lead. It's like watching one lap on replay

Once he took the lead he went a second quicker each lap that passes. 42, 41, 40, 39, 38. Always competing each lap. Awesome. No one beats this man.

Kinda insane that he went from karting to his first FP1 session in less then a year.

The way he’s just so much faster than everyone else is just insane😱😱😱

10 years later and the guy is 3 times F1 world champion

People seem to think that "he just has a faster kart." While tuning and equipment does indeed improve performance, it doesn't win you races, let alone international ones like this. Every driver at a race like this has tremendous funding and very knowledgeable mechanics who can tune the shit out of the karts. What you see here is pure driving skill (remember this is rotax, where every engine is the same and the single speed gear box makes driver skill even more vital to differentiate yourself). I believe the way he is able to obliterate the competition in this video is that he has perfected his braking technique so well that he is able to corner at the right speed while keeping the engine rpm's in the power band to allow for maximum acceleration out of corners. If you watch other really good drivers, you can just hear it when they brake. The engine noise stops, and then as they lift off it comes back but at a weaker sound. This is called bogging down the engine, and doing so in rotax guarantees that you will have no power/acceleration out of the corners. Few can master their braking and become so smooth that they always have power and grip. Max is one of those few.

"haha, yes, kart was amazing today"

Those moves.! Damn! And he does the same moves in F1 with precision, just pure talent. He can woop anyone's ass in any raceclass!

The amount of rotation in every corner is insane

I am pretty sure that this young guy will be the best F1 driver one day.

Such an aggressive and brave approuch. This man is insanely talented. To the Max

This video does a great job of showing how max likes to takes his corners. Early apex so he can get back on the power/straighten the cart early to increase the time on throttle

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="280">4:40</a> Man that overtake is soooooooooooo GOOD 🤩

I love the fact that Jos made the factory karts blush with his own tuning! Max pushed it to the limit. How great is that?

TALENTO, MAGIA, TREMENDO MAX

Amazing, this guy is already a legendary driver.

So young, so fast, so talented, so brave WOW!!!

Menuda forma de pilotar ni una sola corrección y yendo muy rápido. Es increíble como se los come en cada curva 🥰🥰🥰

Domínio perfeito sobre a máquina já era um predestinado. Campeão!

One word.....smooth.

This guy has the potential to become one of the greatest f1 driver, i think he will become a world champion one day

Es un auténtico “killer”….. puro talento desde Niño.

The genius at work

Jesus when he gets the lead he turns it up and is just untouchable.

This guy will one day make thousands of grown men cry..

That was fun to watch

Awesome 🙌 Max must have made a pact with the laws of physics 💪

So much has changed yet nothing has changed.

Looks like a champ!

Bel videogioco!

OMG it's like playing ACC with AI at 90%, he's so skilled. His throttle modulation is just impressive

Simply lovely

Castelletto 😍😍 My favorite track. Go go max 💪💪😃🇧🇶

Masterclass

O malandro equilibra o carro no freio depois da curva kkkkk Muito bom 👏👏👏

He reminds me of how I drive, watch the horizon, you can see when he eases off the steering input just enough to let the grip come back, and then he loads the tires again. His killer full sends down the inside is why I'm sitting typing and he isnt, that.. and the opportunity he received

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="184">3:04</a> WHAT????? Unreal

The discipline to stay a cigarette paper better than everyone else at every single moment is incredible.

Before GoPro's with stabilization. Wasn't until GoPro 7 Black was it pretty descent. Better each generation. I used a 9 on a chest rig snowmobiling and the surroundings were steady smooth and level. Only the snowmobile showed any movement.

Not a Max fan, but he is blood good and so consistent

Red Bull and Vettel have been dominating F1 these past four years, I would like to see what this Max kid would do in a Red Bull one day.

3 time world champion Max Verstappen!

Super Max

This guy is pretty good, I think he can win a world title in Formula 1

Wait.. he went from this to winning his first GP in 3 years? Wtf?

damn that dude is quick i sure hope he makes it to f1

I'd love to see his steering inputs as well!

This guy is very good.

Eu acho que esse cara tem potencial de ser piloto de F1😮

Killer

Omg he's s miracle

this guy is so talented, he should be in f1

For every 1000 Lance strolls there's one Max verstappen.

man what a nice day for karting max joins try hard me comes out

Super pilote super

The fact we call the training ground for the greatest drivers of all time "go karting" is hilarious, ironic and brilliant

What difficulty setting is this?

And they said it’s the car lol

vim do futuro' pra dizer que esse garoto vai ser Tri campeão. Kkkkkkkk!

10yrs later 2wdc 41wins in f1

Max's father was very disappointed for Max not starting in pole

With this video in mind you understand why they gave him an F1 seat just one year later. The only motorsport athlete who is having a similar trajectory right now is Pedro Acosta in MotoGP. They are both cut from something else...

Pensa che 10anni fa guidava come adesso 😂😂😂 si ma adesso e 3 volte campione delmondo ..sempre guidato pulito max mamma mia impressionante che guida😂😂😂😂

My boy doesnt fucking miss dude

Enough with the “he should be an f1 driver” jokes! OMG!

Max, how do you see yourself in 10 years? I see myself as a 3-time F1 world champion

Max Max Max, Super Max.......

Tutto tranne che impressionante...

Pretty good driving. He should try racing for a living

Max vs Leclerc 😮

Seems like a good driver, could make it to f1

O cara é bom mesmo, o cabra é diferenciado, rápido virado na desgraça

This guy should try racing in the big leagues like F1. He would we good

More overtakes here than he's had to do in the last 2 years haha

po po po pooooooooooo...............

When does the race start? It says Race 2, but they never have a start, I think this is just a practice sesh.

Kid has good potential

If he keeps practicing one day he may become a good driver :p

Drives very well, he should try taking it up professionally. Guy has good skills.

How much fast this kart can reach?

Lebron James- “yea I was actually at that race, I went up to him and told him one day he’d be an F1 champion. I don’t know what made me say it to him, I just did.”

2 yeats later he was in f1

This guy is real good, I think he can represent redbull someday

Trust me guys, in 10 years time he will be at a least triple F1 world champion

a bit aggressive but whaou that looks dangerously fast!

TUTUTUTU MAX VERSTAPPEN

Literally 10 minutes from my house

crazy drive... F***....

He's ok

Unless I’m wrong this is not a race it’s practice laps.

Trust me guys, in 10 years time he will be at least triple wdc

This kid fast, who is he

he never pushed brakes once during whole race

This guys good. I wonder what he did after his karting career

Would love to see the gap on the p2

Todos habláis de talento sin pensar en las hostias que le daba su padre. De talento nada, le metieron trabajo y trabajo en vena y ahora es de los mejores de la historia

Even in karting Max was dive bombing and had that “move or we crash” mentality.

I predict this guy will lead a race and pit on the last lap to get fastest lap while being chased by a Ferrari.
