Max Verstappen is just the sixth Formula 1 driver to have secured a fourth drivers’ title.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle praised Max Verstappen as “superhuman” for clinching four consecutive drivers’ titles and adeptly navigating Red Bull’s early season turmoil. Verstappen secured his fourth world championship by finishing fifth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, a feat accomplished by just five drivers before him. Brundle highlighted the immense effort required to sustain peak performance over a prolonged period, placing Verstappen in a select group alongside legends like Hamilton, Schumacher, and Prost. Verstappen’s dominance in the early season, winning four of the first five races, solidified his title charge amidst internal tensions within the Red Bull team. Despite facing challenges in the second half of the season, Verstappen’s ability to maximize results and outscore his teammate underscored his championship credentials, with standout victories like in São Paulo sealing his title triumph.
