(Very cold.) But he’s also quick to laugh, so long as there’s time for it, which there often isn’t.

He has insouciant blue eyes and naturally pursed lips that contribute to his rap as a cold-blooded killer. He stands stock straight, has a face that rests stern and serious.

Up close, Max is taller than many drivers (five feet eleven). Which is why it might amuse race fans to learn that despite those infractions at his road test in 2015, Max managed to talk his way out of it. It can contribute to the impression that Verstappen, Horner, and Red Bull are working the refs and squeezing every last advantage. That sense that he is destined to go past you, as though by fate’s decree, has seemingly contributed to a near-pathological certainty that he is never at fault. And it is when he is chasing that his proprietary ownership of the racing line is on most ecstatic display. He can win from anywhere on the starting grid-not just the front of the pack. At 25, he has won more Grand Prix than all but five racers in F1 history and is already comfortably regarded within the company of the best half-dozen or so to have ever done it. And that tactical fearlessness goes a long way toward explaining his competitive edge and recent domination, which includes back-to-back world championships in 20. “I don’t think you can go fast if you have fear inside you,” Verstappen told me last year.
