The young driver from Mazarrón (Murcia) is being the revelation of the season. In three grand prix he has revolutionized Moto3 and his name has not gone unnoticed even by the great figures of MotoGP.

However, his spectacular numbers have not yet allowed him to break any records. In his debut in the World Cup he did not get the victory, something that, for example, Can Oncu did two years ago in Valencia. When he did make it to the second in Qatar at 16 years and 307 days , he was far from lowering the precocity record held by the Turk at 15 years and 115 days.

With his second win in Portugal, he also did not break the record for the youngest winner of two races. Winning two of the first three races is not new in the World Championship either, as Daijiro Katoh did it in 250cc as a wild card in Japan at the end of the 20th century.

Reviewing the list of youngest winners, the Murcian is the third for whom it has been least difficult to repeat, and that is usually synonymous with success.

Youngest drivers to win two races

Pilot	Age
Marco Melandri	16 years and 14 days
Maverick Vinales	16 years and 165 days
Peter Acosta	16 years and 321 days
Hector Barbera	16 years and 335 days

That record still belongs to Marco Melandri. Two weeks after his 16th birthday, the Italian celebrated in the Czech Republic by winning his second grand prix

Acosta is also not the youngest driver to lead the World Championship. That honor belongs to Romano Fenati, who after his first win at the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix took the lead at the age of 16 years and 105 days.

The Red Bull KTM Ajo team rider will also have a hard time snatching the record of the youngest champion from Loris Capirossi. The one from Castel San Pietro Terme reached 125cc in 1990 and was crowned the first at 17 years and 4 months.

To overcome it, Acosta would have to close the title before October. Beyond the numbers, what has impressed the most about this boy are his forms. Talent has shown that he has to do it.
