Formula 1 fans who want to know more about F1 drivers or understand how they can perform at such an elite level will have the opportunity this fall to see what drives Red Bull’s three-time F1 Champion driver, Max Verstappen. Starting Monday, October 14, eleven Max Verstappen documentaries, including Off the Beaten Track and Master of the Track, will premiere on the Viaplay US streaming service in the United States.

Max Verstappen, 27, is already among the best Formula 1 drivers in the 75-year motorsport history. Recognized at a young age as a potential Champion, Verstappen has won three FIA F1 Driver’s World Championships. He dominated F1 2023, winning 19 of the 22 races in the season. Responding to the growing interest in F1 racing in the U.S., Viaplay will show more of the human side of one of F1’s top drivers.

On Verstappen’s official site, the driver said, “Partnering with Viaplay for all these series has been an incredible journey. These series show a side that often remains unseen during the moments on the Formula 1 circuit. It gives a glimpse of my life, my love for different forms of motorsport and the people who inspire me.”
