How important is a stint in Formula 3  for a young driver who wants to get to the very top in motor sport?

Very; at least that’s the opinion of a talented youngster who recently made his mark in the category.

Max Verstappen finished third in the 2014 FIA Formula 3 European Championship, with 10 wins and today the Dutchman is about to embark on his second season in Formula 1 with Scuderia Toro Rosso. This week, Max is in action in Barcelona (Spain) taking part in the first pre-season test session, but he found time to talk to fia.com and you can watch his exclusive interview here.
