Max Verstappen is a good addition to Formula 1, according to his father Jos.
The 17-year-old has been a shining light in his debut campaign and has wowed fans with his maturity and ability in the first 10 races.
Fans were not convinced he would be a hit when he signed for Toro Rosso last year, but Jos is adamant that the sport is now happy.
He told Motorsport.com: “He was ready for it; and not every 17 year old is ready for that. I can understand why they changed the [Superlicence] rules, but there is nothing I can do about that.
“I am happy he is in F1, and he is doing well. Red Bull is happy with him, and I think F1 should be happy with a driver like Max.
"He is quick, he is aggressive, and he is a guy who can overtake. These are the kinds of drivers that are always good for sport.”
