Yahoo Autos Watch Max Verstappen Pass Nine Cars on the Very First Lap of the Chinese GP
The second round of the 2017 Formula One championship happened this weekend with the Chinese Grand Prix, with the victory going to three-time champion Lewis Hamilton. Despite the frontrunner's performance, it was 19-year-old Max Verstappen's drive that stole the show.
Thanks to an engine issue that left him down on power during qualifying, Verstappen had to start 16th in the grid, well behind any of the other competitive Red Bull, Ferrari, or Mercedes cars.
But thanks to an impeccable start and some extremely precise braking, Verstappen was able to zig-zag past no fewer than nine other cars during the very first lap. The Red Bull driver makes it look easy as he tip-toes right on the limit in some of the faster bends.
The first lap isn't where Verstappen's performance ended, either. He went on to ascend four more position, finishing in third place by the end of the race. Well done, Max.
