And so he got his 'Belgian driver license .
BTW : MAX didn't got a 'given opportunity . He had to prove himself first in several Red Bull test run sessions against the chrono..
MAX had to be extremely fast , and only then he got his F1 entrance in the shitty Toro Rosso car ..
His second F1 race was the Malaysia GP (2015 March 29) , he ran P7 and took his first WDC points in the shitty Toro Rosso car !

Yes he was 17 yrs old who has a professional racer as a father and spent years racing.
I mean I get it but we can't discount the impact his life circumstances had on his development.
Look at the career of Mick Schumacher for example. How would his career be different if his father were around? Would have been aa good as Max?
