Isn't he also the youngest driver to ever lead a race?
It's real early to say anything, but I'm excited to see how Kimi and Isack are going to do this year, especially Kimi, the guy is only 18 and finished 6th with the fastest lap in Suzuka (youngest ever).
Max Verstappen was 17 when he signed with Torro Rosso.Isn't he also the youngest driver to ever lead a race?

Totally different tires and tech. They could make super long lasting tires today I am sure....and the cars proabably had 3-400HP tops and no where close to the downforce and brakingIn 1963, Jim Clark won four consecutive Grands Prix using the same set of Dunlops.
From what I've read the weather was pretty cool and that played a big part.he seems to be quite the tire whisperer. Its impressive how long he went on the mediums.
That helped for sure, but he still stayed on them longer then the other drivers.From what I've read the weather was pretty cool and that played a big part.
Prost was the ultimate tire whisperer.he seems to be quite the tire whisperer. Its impressive how long he went on the mediums.
Its well known that Perez was shoved down Markos throat by Deiter. Red Bull after all is an energy drink and who is gonna sell more Red Bull then a Mexican that is well liked and also comes with a ton of cash. LATAM is a fantastic market for Red Bull. Also Albon is half Thai, aaand so is Red Bull!!! Kudos to Albon he has really honed his craft.Right, but they were #2 drivers for Red Bull, you said that Helmut keeps trying to fill it with white drivers.
Just trying to understand your comment with those two in mind.
Hard to argue against that.Prost was the ultimate tire whisperer.
