A $250k bet was placed on Max Verstappen not losing the F1 drivers’ title this season.
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds jokingly announced that people can now stop “trolling” him for placing a $250k bet on Max Verstappen not losing the F1 drivers’ title this year. Earlier this year in February, Dodds stated that if any driver outraced the Red Bull star to the drivers’ crown, he would donate the large sum to a charity chosen by them. Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive title at the Las Vegas Grand Prix by finishing ahead of main rival Lando Norris. Despite starting in fifth and finishing in the same position, Verstappen secured the championship. Even though Dodds’ bet remains unharmed, he plans to use the $250k for a good cause, details of which he will disclose soon. Dodds expressed his admiration for Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen’s achievement of winning four World Drivers’ Championships in four years, and teased about revealing the plan for the money in the near future.
