Thanks to the CRG Factory Team, we got some great onboard footage from the super fast Max Verstappen who was present together with Felice Tiene and Jordon Lennox-Lamb at the second Rotax EuroChallenge in Castelletto 7 Laghi in Italy.

The clip is taken the from the free practice sessions before the race.

Throughout the race Max drove superbly and led at several points and finally got a well deserved second position in the final.

Enjoy some amazing driving onboard!

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.

[JamesJohnson-rgec]

Nothing has changed. The precision, consistency and pure skill is astounding.

[CloudStrifeXBL]

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

[felixarkang]

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

[chiarelliantoine]

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

[kanssei]

Damn he is fucking good. Really fucking good.

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.

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

[EnricoPolanski]

"haha, yes, kart was amazing today"

[MetalMystica]

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!

[shootera]

He is so phenomenal on the brakes, and so consistent on them. Every braking point he chunks half a meter. It is like clockwork. Incredible.

[owensweeny]

The amount of rotation in every corner is insane

[PudgyGuan]

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

[fragdude]

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

[MiguelCyc]

Amazing, this guy is already a legendary driver.

[jeffdonovan]

He was way later on brakes, and the only place he could pass, kart setup and pure driving skill.

[gda]

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

[zeroxp]

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

[johnlilipory]

echt super gaaf en dan ook Max Verstappen achter de stuur TOP

[Joshua-zfzj]

He does not give one eff. He showed the smallest amount of patience and respectfully said “I’m way faster goodbye!” No hesitation, no missed beat. And then when the track is completely open you see his real pace and it’s on an even higher level🤯
