Red Bull Racing driver, Max Verstappen, has sealed a fourth consecutive Formula 1 world title despite finishing fifth in the Las Vegas grand prix on Sunday.
Verstappen only needed to end the race ahead of his nearest challenger in the championship, Lando Norris. And the McLaren driver could only manage to finish in sixth place.
With a 63-point lead and only two races left in the 2024 season, Verstappen’s 403 points is enough to win the Dutchman another title and push him closer to the greatest drivers in the sport’s history.
Next up for Verstappen is the Qatar GP. While the Driver’s title is sealed, there is still a three-way tussle for the Constructors’ title, with McLaren currently leading that race ahead of Ferrari and Red Bull Racing.
