Known for his aggressiveness and fearlessness on track, Max Verstappen is a two-time world champion now. Currently, the most sought-after man in the sport, Verstappen, has been riding pretty high in the last couple of years. However, after making it so far, the Red Bull driver didn’t forget his roots and where he comes from. He decided to send a priceless gift to his childhood karting team that brought up Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg as well.

The Red Bull star recently sent a signed shirt to the karting team he was a part of when he was younger. Verstappen signed the t-shirt with “To the best team boss” and “#1″ written on it and sent it to the CRG karting factory, one of the leading karting lines in the world.

As the two-time world champion sent in his gift to his team, the team did their part and thanked Verstappen for his efforts. They took to their official Instagram account to share, “Thank you @maxverstappen1 for this very much appreciated gift which shows that you have never forgotten your time in karting and how important it was for your career.”

Max Verstappen raced for Italian karting giants CRG in his earlier days of karting and displayed his masterclass as a 12-year-old. The Dutchman was a part of the driver program of the globally renowned karting team in 2010, 2011, and 2013. These three stints with the team definitely helped the Dutch driver to be what he is today.

However, it’s not all. The renowned karting association is a championship maker for sure. Apart from Verstappen, they had seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and 2016 F1 champion Nico Rosberg in their ranks. Moreover, current Haas veteran driver Nico Hulkenberg had his karting days with the same team.
