No but he joins F1 and becomes the youngest driver ever to enter a grand prix. From day one, all eyes are on him, he's the subject of countless debates. He didn't have an actual driver's license yet. His mum drove him to races. There's a level of expectation pressing down on him already. He's a rookie, he learns through experience like all those who came before him. His youth and the fact that they - his fellow drivers - were all in his shoes once doesn't protect him. He's christened crashstappen, he labeled aggressive, he has no choice in any of it. But there's something there, something they can't help but notice. Even then there's whispers, could he be the one to end Mercedes dominance? It's a question of someday, of when rather than if. He gets the Red Bull seat. To the shock of many he clenches his maiden victory in his debut for the mother team. He is the first Dutch driver to lead a lap, to win a grand prix. He becomes the youngest grand prix winner. He is inevitable, that's what they all say. He's marked for greatness, this generational talent, the talent of the century. He is the one who ends era of Mercedes but that is just the beginning. He keeps changing the game, keeps pushing forward, does the things no one could imagine. Which brought us here. Here to the temple of the prancing horse, to Monza. The tenth race win in a row, the record breaker. Once there was a little boy, he was raised around cars, racing was simply in his blood. At the age four, he starts chasing a dream. Twenty years later he achieved it, he became a world champion. Every sacrifice, every twist and turn on the road; it was all worthwhile. Everything after? Simply a bonus. This one however, this one is something else entirely. A little boy once sat in a race car, with a pacifier in hand. That same little boy looked at drivers hopping into those cars and whizzing around a track dreaming of glory. He dreamed of being one of them. Now he's cemented his place as one of the best of them and he's still going. Monza is for the dreamers indeed.
