Ah right, so this isn't an announcement that he's made the team, it's an announcement to say don't worry, we will get him on the track before the contract expires?

The guy looks super young, I think I saw he's about 22, that Max guy is 26? Have formula 1 drivers always been this young? I must be getting old.

Yes. In fact Max had his first F1 race a few days after turning 17. However, drivers often continue on well into their 30s and even 40s such is the case with Fernando Alonso at the moment.
