Dominance doesn’t always breed a true appreciation of what someone has achieved, but Max Verstappen’s latest drivers’ title has got to be viewed as something special. Verstappen could already claim…
Max Verstappen’s fourth world championship title in Formula 1 is truly exceptional, placing him among racing legends like Alain Prost, Sebastian Vettel, Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton. His success this year is highlighted by Red Bull’s performance, currently third in the constructors’ championship. If Red Bull remains in this position, Verstappen will become only the third driver in history to win a championship while driving for a team outside the top two positions. This rare feat has occurred only 11 times in F1 history. Despite some initial oversight earlier in the year, Verstappen’s consistent performances, such as his victory at Imola, have been pivotal in his title campaign. He has shown his skill by fending off strong competition and making the most of his opportunities, demonstrating why he deserves to be recognized as one of the sport’s greats.
