Watch A Teenager Drift An F1 Car Up A Snowy Ski Slope

The Formula One season has gone cold for winter, as teams ready their 2016 machines. That is, except Red Bull Racing, which took its pre-pubescent superstar driver Max Verstappen to the Austrian Alps—lighting it up along a snowy ski slope in a race car that couldn’t be more out of its element.

Verstappen was had just turned 17 years old when the 2015 F1 season began. He didn’t even have a driver’s license, and yet he was competing in the world’s premiere form of motorsport. The Dutch youngster proved a revelation in his inaugural season, with a best finish of fourth in Hungary, repeating the performance a few races later in Austin, Texas.
