If only it was like the old days when Chris Amon was debuting at 19.
Age is irrelevant. Experience is key. Verstappen has probably driven a billion races by now as he was karting in the womb with an F1 driver dad as a mentor.
It could go terribly badly, he could be another Alonso or Vettel. But thank god the people who make these driver decisions are forward thinking and risk takers rather than bitter, grumbly old men watching the sands of time slipping away.
