Verstappen, 25, is two years older than his sibling and both used to race as children.<\/p>\n

Driving runs in the family with their father Jos a former F1 driver, who used to represent the likes of Benetton, Arrows and Minardi.<\/p>\n

He used to take his two kids to the karting track but despite both's talent, Victoria was never as motivated as her brother.<\/p>\n

Verstappen told RaceFans: "There were a few instances where my dad would spend two days preparing everything like he would do with me, making sure everything was perfect for her to drive. <\/p>\n

"I think she had a lot of potential. I think my sister probably had the same amount of talent as I had when I was little, but she just didn\u2019t want it enough. <\/p>\n

"She liked it but not enough to fight for it, be fit, be ready. That\u2019s fine, as long as you realise that.<\/p>\n

"My dad was mainly focused on me. I was 100 per cent sure that my dad would have gone all the way for her as well. <\/p>\n
