Max Verstappen made his Red Bull debut at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen revealed that he had an agreement to join Red Bull in 2017, but was promoted in 2016 after the Russian Grand Prix due to Daniil Kvyat and Sebastian Vettel’s incident. Verstappen’s debut with Red Bull came earlier than expected, but he was already aware of the plan. His mid-season promotion was quickly decided after the race in Sochi, where he had to meet Helmut Marko in Austria. Verstappen famously won his debut at the Spanish GP after a collision between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Despite doubts, the victory silenced critics, although the following weekend in Monaco didn’t go well.
