The extent of Max Verstappen's close bond with Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher will emerge in the latest season of 'Drive to Survive'.
It's not unusual for the hit Netflix series to shed new light across the world of F1, with the latest instalment set to show unseen snaps of Schumacher holding Verstappen before he could walk, let alone drive. The seven-time world champion can be seen in one photo cradling the future Red Bull star in his arms alongside infant daughter Gina-Maria, while another shows toddler-age Verstappen looking up to family friend 'Schumi'.
Verstappen—who has won the last two F1 world championships—shares history with the Schumachers after his father, Jos, formed a relationship with Michael during their 1994 season together at Benetton. The fourth episode of the new season, titled 'Like Father, Like Son?', even features a clip of the two fathers talking about their sons one day racing against one another in F1, which Michael suggested could be "the first time we have an argument."
