They say you always remember your first time for most things. Wonder if Max Verstappen still recalls this?
In Monaco 2015, 17-year-old Max Verstappen was in his rookie season with Toro Rosso, facing challenges during the race.
After a pit stop issue, Verstappen fought his way back through the field, only to crash into Romain Grosjean’s Lotus, causing a major accident.
Despite the crash at 30G, Verstappen emerged unscathed, but the incident sparked controversy over who was at fault.
Verstappen received a grid penalty and points on his super licence, affecting his next race in Canada.
Furthermore, the crash led to the debut of the Virtual Safety Car and impacted Lewis Hamilton’s race strategy, ultimately benefiting Nico Rosberg’s victory in Monaco.
