Hello, my name is Max Verstappen. I'm holding a Guinness World Record by being the youngest to ever win a Formula One World Championship Grand Prix
0:18
Well, first of all, I mean, you know already how to drive a Formula One car, but then, I mean, you come into a new team, a lot of new people
0:24
who you haven't met before, and a lot of preparation is going into those ten days
0:29
And, of course, you know, you're a bit nervous and you don't know what to expect, but for me, the most important thing was just to focus on what was important
0:35
That was to learn the new car, the new procedures on the steering wheel, and I was spending quite a lot of time here at the factory before I got to Barcelona
0:44
I did quite a lot of simulator work, and I felt pretty much prepared for the race
0:50
The whole weekend already started off very well. The pace was there, the car was behaving like I wanted it to, and you get a bit more comfortable
0:56
And, yeah, of course, at the end of qualifying, it was my best ever result already in qualifying
1:02
so it just gave me a great feeling, you know, to get into the race. I was actually very relaxed on the morning. I knew I had a good car
1:15
everything was working well, so I was just looking forward to go into the race and just enjoy myself
1:26
Yeah, of course, the first lap was very eventful by the Mercedes cars crashing out
1:30
so from there on, of course, there were a lot of opportunities for us to get a good result
1:34
I was aiming for a podium, and because of that, the podium was already in better shape
1:39
the podium was already in better shape, I would say like that
1:44
And still, we had two Ferrari cars behind, so I needed to keep pushing
1:53
Yeah, the last ten laps, they were very difficult, of course. When you do a two-stop instead of a three-stop, the tyres are getting older
1:59
and it gets a bit more difficult, but we managed to hang on
2:04
To be honest, not really. It didn't really give me more pressure
2:08
I mean, again, I always see the drivers as equal, even though if they have won championships or not
2:14
Of course, now you're leading the race, but you just have to make no mistakes
2:18
and focus on yourself and do the best possible job. My feelings and what was going through my mind was basically just, you know, make no mistakes
2:30
Make sure to be first, also, out of the last corner, and that's what we did. And definitely when I crossed the finish line, it was an incredible feeling
2:46
It means, to me, just a great record. You're in the book now with a lot of other records around you, it's a very special place
2:55
My favourite part of the race was the finish, and I think that's what you do, you know, it's a very special place
3:01
My favourites were always in sports, because I'm in sports as well, so I was always checking those things out, and of course, very happy to have my own record now
