Relationship Status: Currently dating Kelly Piquet, the daughter of three-time Formula One World Champion Nelson Piquet and the ex-girlfriend of Verstappen's former rival Daniil Kvyat.
Need to Know Facts: At 17, he became the youngest driver to ever compete in a Formula One race and at 18 he was the youngest to win one, with many in the sport dubbing him the "Chosen One." The Dutch racer was the first person in years to give Lewis Hamilton some serious competition for the championship, with the two getting into a headline-making collision at the British Grand Prix before—spoiler alert!—Verstappen ultimately beat the seven-time champ in controversial fashion.
Though he infamously threatened to punch rival (yep, another one!) Esteban Ocon during a 2018 race, Verstappen has settled down over the years, adopting a calmer approach.
"You have to understand that if it's not your day, it's not your day, and you have to settle for a certain result," he explained to Red Bull. "It's more than just a one-weekend wonder. We have to make sure that even if we don't have a perfect weekend, we still score a lot of points. It's a different approach."
And he took an interesting one in season four of Drive to Survive, declining to sit down for interviews. But viewers can expect to see him answer producers' questions in the series' fifth installment.
