After dominating in karting, Max stunned the racing world by becoming the youngest F1 driver in history. As he steps into the limelight, he faces his first test in a show car run in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with thousands watching.
Training and Certification
Team principal Franz Tost shows Max around the Toro Rosso factory in Faenza to meet the team that will work on his car. After some simulator work, Max gets back behind the wheel at the Adria International Raceway to earn his F1 super license.
Taking Care of Business
Before he can jump to the next level, Max must finish the last two races of the F3 championship. Under the gaze of his parents and ever-increasing media attention, Max races with the same team that launched his father to F1 over 20 years earlier.

Back to His Roots
Max takes time off from his F1 preparations to get back to his roots: go-karting on his home track in Genk, Belgium. On a track steeped in history for the Verstappen family, Max proves that racing runs in his blood.
Teammates and New Cars
Just weeks away from making history, Max meets his new Toro Rosso teammates, including fellow rookie driver Carlos Sainz. Then, at the Misano World Circuit in Italy, Max finally tests his own F1 car.

Special Forces: World's Toughest Test
Household names endure some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process. There are no votes, and no eliminations – just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, quickly learn the meaning of "no guts, no glory" – and no glam.
Moonshiners
The secret and illegal world of moonshining stretches all across Appalachia raking in a pretty penny for those who choose to shine. Moonshiners will go to unprecedented extremes in their efforts to hide their still sites and cloak their distribution networks, some can hide in plain sight. With new styles of shine being tested and sold there is a king's ransom waiting for those bold enough to grab it. But those who enforce the law are wise to shiner deceptions and more determined than ever to catch them red handed and in the act of making Moonshine. The day of reckoning may be around the corner, but don't sell the Moonshiners short. Each has a keen understanding of how to stay one step ahead of the law in their region, and in this ongoing cat and mouse game you never know who will end up in the trap.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
