Max Verstappen covered in Las Vegas GP his fourth Formula 1 world title with two more Grand Prix remaining until the end of the championship. The Dutchman controlled his rival for the crown, Lando Norrisand thus win a title that, at 27 years old, puts him in the 5 drivers with the most titles in history.
The Dutchman equaled the 4 titles of two legends such as Alain Prost either Sebastian Vettel and thus placed himself at a distance from the equivalent of such a myth Juan Manuel Fangio.
Furthermore, at 27 years old, he is 3 championships away from the record of 7 titles achieved by Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher, although Verstappen He has repeated on many occasions that this record is not on his mind and that he does not believe that he will stay many years in F1 because he wants to enjoy other areas of life.
Max Verstappen the title streak ended Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes in 2021 in one of the most controversial school graduations in history and has since won all the crowns. In 2022, Red Bull was remade after the good start of Ferrari to dominate F1 at will since the introduction of the new and current regulations. He was able to take advantage of having an infinitely superior car to win the 2022 and 2023 titles unopposed, the latter also in the most dominant fashion in history.
In 2024 he began to sweep the first races, until in Miami his car began to threaten a possible decrease in performance after the improvement of McLaren. mAx used the advantage accumulated in the first rounds and continued to win over worse cars in tests such as Imola, Canada and Barcelonaminimizing losses on the weekends where he suffered the most, and maximizing his results weekend after weekend. Those who repeated in 2023 and 2024 who only won because of the car, must surrender to the current king. It made a difference. He won the 2024 World Cup with a car that was not the best since the 6th round.
