Well if he wasn't called Verstappen with all his management he would not have got into F3 in first place. Not saying that his place wasn't in F3 but himself and his management had enough belief to make the jump and be competitive rather going for a title fight with Tech 1 or JKR in 2.0.
A bit like Ocon who was tipped to do a 3rd year in 2.0, they proved in testing that they could give a shot to championship by blitzing lap times in testing.
Verstappen in Valencia in 2013 with the Motopark German F3 car and Ocon at Imola they properly blitzzed the opposition in the name of Kirchofer for Ocon by example.
