He’s only 25 years old, but his numbers don’t say the same. He is up there with the best. Max Verstappen He was crowned two-time F1 world champion at the weekend and thus joined an exclusive list of 16 other drivers who have managed to win at least two crowns. He equates the two scepters of Alberto Ascari, Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mika Hakkinen and Fernando Alonsoand next year he will start as the favorite to join Senna, Piquet, Lauda, Stewart and Brabham with three crowns. But the potential dominance he could usher in the new F1 era has pushed him to greater heights: Vettel and Prost they won 4, Fangio 5 crowns conquered and finally they are Michael Schumacher Y Lewis Hamilton, with 7 each. The crowns of ‘Kaiser’ and his great rival in 2021 are still a long way off, but no one doubts that Max can go for it all.
Without further ado, he became the second youngest driver to achieve two crowns, at 25 years and 9 days after beating Alonso and only behind Vettel, who achieved 4 in a row taking advantage of his dominance Red Bull 2010-2013. That should be the best example to follow for Max, who will seek to maximize his success by exploiting current engine excellence until Ferrari and Mercedes meet both these standards.
Lewis Hamilton didn’t win his second title until he was 29 years old. Max did it 4 years before. Now Lewis has 37 springs and 7 titles. The current king has a long time to break any records if he is lucky enough to have a winning car for many years.

Many drivers have to wait years to own a winning car. Most don’t get it. But It was awarded to Max in the 5th race of his second season in F1 (2016). In only 23 F1 experience quotes, Red Bull gave him a promotion. And first, he won. In that way 2016 Spanish GP became the youngest driver to win an F1 GP (18 years and 7 months) and make it onto the podium. And in Brazil 2016, the first to achieve the fastest lap.
He had to arm himself with patience at that time and at others 4 campaigns to have a champion car (2021). In the past, Max has pressured Red Bull on many occasions and there are rumors that he may walk away. Renewed in 2020 for three years. He gave the team one last chance and the bet was to win in 2021. Last March, as champion, he renewed until 2028.
