Fairly average F1 driver it's fair to say.

James Hunt, proper character. Not the one as portrayed in the movie Rush, the Real one.....

The progression isn't that unusual but to do only one year in a 'proper' formula before taking on F1 is remarkable when you consider how many great drivers there are aged about 20 who have much more experience.
He does appear to be very good (won 6 F3 races on the trot) but even so, what's the rush?

And the year after he'll be able to start driving lessons. (18 in NL apparently).
If he gets on the podium, will he be allowed to drink the champagne?
Waiting to at least adulthood would seem a bit more sensible. They could let him test in F1 and maybe race in GP2 for a year with a view to putting him in the car for 2016.

Nepotism rules.
As soon as I saw "Verstappen" I knew there would a family connection.

Impressive! Though F1 has long had its roots in Karting, I do wonder if he's missing out on some progression somewhere.
