Max Verstappen became Formula One’s youngest-ever driver when he lined up for the 2015 Australian Grand Prix at the age of just 17 years and 166 days.

The table toppers will be looking to recover from a rare defeat last week while there are personal battles being waged in the all-Aussie clash in Perth.

Formula One crosses the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in 2015 to visit the city of Montreal, host to the Canadian Grand Prix. The race has been a much-loved part of the F1 calendar since 1967.
