Max Verstappen is F1 world champion after beating Lewis Hamilton to the chequered flag on the last lap of the season finale in Abu Dhabi, capping arguably the most titanic title battle in the sport’s history in the most dramatic way imaginable. At 24 years old Verstappen becomes the Netherlands’ first drivers’ title winner and the fourth youngest in history, behind Fernando Alonso, Hamilton himself and Red Bull predecessor Sebastian Vettel. What a coincidence that this ’70’s band band Supermax is from Austria, just like the Red Bull Racing Team! They are the best in the world! This band Supermax was a project of Austrian musician and producer Kurt Hauenstein (1949–2011), best known for the 1979 hit “It Ain’t Easy“, and “Lovemachine“, a 1977 German #4 single, that peaked at #6 in Switzerland, #9 in Austria and #96 in US. The first members of the band were Kurt Hauenstein (Mini Moog, vocals), Hans Ochs (guitar), Ken Taylor (bass guitar), Lothar Krell (keyboards), Peter Koch (percussion), Jürgen Zöller (drums) and the singers Cee Cee Cobb and Jean Graham. After Ken Taylor left the band in 1979, Kurt Hauenstein returned to his origin music instrument, the bass guitar. Later, Bernadet Onore Eben and Jessica Hauenstein, the daughter of Kurt Hauenstein, joined the group as backing vocal singers. From 2006 Raimund Bretterbauer joined as his Sound Engineer and Co Producer. In 1981, Supermax toured as the first mixed-race band through South Africa for 21 gigs. Despite warnings and death threats, Supermax finished the tour, but this made some countries refuse permits for entry, and consequently the group was black-listed by some political organizations.[citation needed] In 1983, Supermax was invited to play as special guest from Europe at the Reggae Sunsplash Festival in Montego Bay, Jamaica This TopPop video was first broadcast on November 2, 1978 Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
