Max Verstappen is sure that becoming F1's youngest ever winner will not go to his head.

Max Verstappen has said that becoming Formula 1's youngest ever winner will not go to his head.

Hot on the heels of entering the category as the world's first 17-year-old grand prix driver last year, the Dutch sensation broke through for victory in Barcelona - mere days after being promoted to Red Bull's top F1 team.

Verstappen has admitted that he has spent the week since then trying to take it all in, including watching the replay of the race commentated in his native Dutch.

"The commentator was crying," he told Algemeen Dagblad newspaper.

"I still get goose bumps when I see it."

He said that he is not the type to get "emotional very easily", but revealed that he was holding back tears on the podium.

Verstappen also admitted that it has been impossible to ignore all the hype triggered by his Spanish Grand Prix triumph.

"Today it's all a bit crazy," he said, "but it's very important not to lose touch of the ground. My father and my manager help me with that."

Verstappen is now moving on to the Monaco Grand Prix, where last year he shone for Toro Rosso until a huge rear-end smash sent him into the barriers.
