12th placed driver in F1 Championship passes his driving test

Max Verstappen passes driving test on his 18th birthday

He is Formula 1's youngest ever driver and in charge of a car that can reach over 200mph.

But Belgian-born Dutchman Max Verstappen was unable to drive a car legally on his own in either country.

That all changed on Wednesday when the youngster turned 18 and passed his driving test at the first attempt.

Despite having competed in 14 grands prix since his debut in Australia in March, Verstappen admitted to feeling the pressure during his test.
