Max Verstappen sets sights on passing driving test after Formula One fourth

Formula One rookie Max Verstappen will now set his sights on passing his driving test after finishing fourth in Sunday’s eventful Hungarian Grand Prix.

The 17-year-old Toro Rosso driver, who is not yet old enough to take to the roads unattended in his native Belgium, narrowly missed out on a spot on the podium in a chaotic race which was won by Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.

“Unbelievable, P4 – what a great result, I have no words,” said Verstappen, son of the former Benetton driver Jos, who partnered Michael Schumacher in the mid-90s.
