    NASCAR is challenging.

    But this is amazing car control; but more importantly racecraft. Just awesome stuff.

    He was near the back of the grid. It's hard to overtake 9 cars when you are on pole. ;)

    Respectfully, there are only a handful (tops) of drivers on the grid capable of a display like that from the back of the grid...in the wet.

    Verstappen gets F1 abbreviation tweak for 2017



    A minor tweak has put a smile on Max Verstappen's face in Barcelona.

    The Red Bull driver made an application to F1's governing body to have the 'VES' abbreviation of his name for official timing screens changed to 'VER'.

    Dutchman Verstappen made his debut in 2015, when Jean-Eric Vergne was already Ferrari's reserve driver and therefore the holder of the 'VER' handle.

    Verstappen, 19, is quoted by the Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws: "When it become known that Vergne was no longer with Ferrari, I immediately said that I wanted to be 'VER' -- the first letters of my name, as my father used to have.

    "The team applied for it and it was approved. I am already 'VER' on the screens here," he added in Barcelona.
