Max Verstappen has won his fourth Formula 1 world championship, finishing ahead of Lando Norris in Las Vegas to put the title out of reach with races still left in the season.
The Red Bull Racing driver started fifth but was already up to second by the 10th lap around the street circuit that includes the famed Las Vegas Strip.
“It’s been a long season and of course we started off amazing, it was almost like cruising, but then we had a tough run”, Verstappen said. “But as a team, we kept it together, we kept working on improvements and we pulled off the win. Incredibly proud of everyone, what they have done for me.. So at the moment I’m just feeling very relieved, in a way, but also proud.”
With the win, Verstappen became the sixth driver in Formula 1 history to win at least four titles. The 27-year-old is the second-youngest to achieve this feat, after Vettel, who also claimed all four of his championships with Red Bull.
Verstappen won all four titles consecutively from 2021 to 2024 and has won 62 Grands Prix across 10 seasons.
