Not only are there major tournaments in tennis, Formula 1 is also familiar with this phenomenon, but then it means that the driver starts from the first position and drives from start to finish. So the perfect weekend race. Max Verstappen did it at the Garnd Prix in Austria for the first time in his career.
That Sunday, the son of former driver Jose Verstappen was 23 years and 277 days old. This made him about a year younger than Sebastian Vettel, when the German won his first major championship (24 years 150 days at the 2011 India GP). It took world champion Lewis Hamilton some time before he won major titles: 29 years 82 days (GP Malaysia 2014).
