Max Verstappen won him over second F1 World Cup and crowned two-time world champion of the ‘Great Circus’, who won his second title in a row after achieving his first in 2021. That time he achieved it on the last lap, after beating Hamilton in one of the most controversial World Cup finals in memory. But this time, the Dutch driver won his second World Championship with great superiority, with four races to go.
In this way, Max Verstappen joins an elite club of only 16 drivers who have won at least two crowns. Alberto Ascari, Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mika Hakkinen and Fernando Alonso has two titles, like Max, while Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet, Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart and Jack Brabham they have 3, Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost they won 4, Juan Manuel Fangio 5 crowns conquered and finally they are Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamiltonwith 7 each.
Verstappen, with the champion car in the first year of a new regulation, is in a very good position to go on to win next year to extend his record and increase his figure. At just 25 years old, he already has what it takes to break many records. Only time will tell which number in the following list remains the two-time F1 champion.
