The Long Version
He entered Formula One at 17 with Toro Rosso in 2015, prompting a rule change on minimum age.
Promoted to Red Bull four races into 2016, he won on debut for the team in Barcelona.
The 2021 title was decided on the final lap at Abu Dhabi against Hamilton.
A record 19 wins in 2023 gave him the most dominant single season in the sport's history.
