Verstappen Takes On Next Gen Talent | F1 News

Max Verstappen is stepping into the role of mentor and manager for 15-year-old Belgian prodigy Dries Van Langendonck, already a McLaren junior, as Team Verstappen officially takes charge of his career. With Raymond Vermeulen overseeing daily operations, Verstappen personally coaches Van Langendonck using his own simulator and technical resources, aiming to fast-track his path to Formula One. Verstappen, who only takes on drivers he believes have elite potential, sees extraordinary promise in Van Langendonck — not just for his age, but for his raw talent and unique abilities. This marks the first time Team Verstappen manages an outside driver, blending family ties with professional strategy to build the next racing superstar.
