THE HAGUE Cheap Men's ECCO Fusion II Tie COCOA BROWN Ireland , Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Dutch driver Max Verstappen is set to become the youngest driver ever in Formula 1 after signing for Red Bull Racing's Junior Team Scuderia Toro Rosso for the 2015 season on Monday.
Verstappen, who will turns 17 on September 30, will drive for the team from the start of the 2015 Formula 1 season, alongside the 20-year-old Russia Daniil Kvyat. He could beat the previous record held by Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari Cheap Men's ECCO Transit Slip On BLACK Ireland , who was 19 years and 125 days in 2009.
"Ever since I was seven years old, Formula 1 has been my career goal, so this opportunity is truly a dream come true," Verstappen stated in a press release by Red Bull. "We've all worked tremendously hard to reach Formula 1 and I will give my absolute best to be successful in the pinnacle of motorsport."
Verstappen is the son of Jos Verstappen Cheap Men's BLACK ECCO Jack Slip On Ireland , 42, who drove in Formula 1 from 1994 until 2003, finishing on the podium twice in his first season. Verstappen, former karting world champion Cheap Men's ECCO Howell Moc Tie MOCHA Ireland , made a smooth transition to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship this year by winning 8 of the 27 races held to date.
"With the return of the Verstappen name to Formula 1, I hope we can relive old memories and I'm hoping to see many fans at all the Grand Prix circuits," Max Verstappen said.
"There are several people that have helped me throughout the years and still support me to this day and I want to sincerely thank them," the young driver continued. "First of all a big thanks to my father Jos Cheap Men's ECCO Jared Modern Tie WARM GREY Ireland , who has always been by my side, day and night, year after year."
CANBERRA, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Australian swimmer Cameron McEvoy has swum the third-fastest 100 meters freestyle time in history overnight, on his way to qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
At the Australian Olympic qualifiers in Adelaide, McEvoy, 21, blitzed the field to swim a new Australian record of 47.04 seconds -- and the fastest ever 100 meters swum outside of the "super suit" era of 2008-09.
The super suits were banned from competition in January 2010 after world records went tumbling at the 2008 Olympics and 2009 World Championships; their polyurethane make-up was found to markedly improve performance as they were impermeable and aided buoyancy.
McEvoy finished just under a second ahead of second-placed Kyle Chalmers, 17, who also qualifies for the team, while James Roberts finished third and will also make the trip to Rio. James Magnussen finished fourth, meaning he will round out Australia's 4x100 meters team for the meet but will not compete in the standalone 100 meters event.
After the swim, McEvoy said Cesar Cielo Filho's world record of 46.91 (set in a super suit in 2009) was well within reach.
"It felt no different to any other race. If I had known I was that close there might have been something in me that could have pushed me a bit further," McEvoy said post-race overnight.
"It's unbelievable... It makes me know that me and (coach) Richard Scarce are doing the right thing. It puts me in a good position going to Rio."
McEvoy said it would be important not to get ahead of himself before the Olympics, and that the mental battle would be just as difficult as the physical one - particularly now as he has announced himself to the world stage.
"The Olympics is notorious for not always producing the best time to win it and that's just because the mental game, being able to step up on the day, is levels above anywhere else. I'm very much aware of that," he said.
"And I'm very much aware that everyone else in the world will be watching this race and firing them up to get back into training at 5am the next morning to try and beat me.
"While it's good, I can't sit back and relax and think it's going to come without anymore effort in Rio."
The Rio Olympic Games begin in Brazil in August.
