Red Bull driver Max Verstappen created history at the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sunday. Verstappen has become just the sixth Formula One driver to win four world championships. He joins former Red Bull racing driver Sebastian Vettel as the team’s four-time champion. He finished ahead of Lando Norris and won the championship. The Dutch defeated Norris by finishing sixth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, clinching the world championship.
The Dutch driver was in excellent form last year, winning 19 races. Verstappen ended his 10-race winless streak this season by winning in Brazil three weeks ago after starting 17th. That victory guaranteed Verstappen’s ability to defend his title. He’s won eight races this season, his fewest since 2020. Amidst all these, he has been thinking of changing his career from F1 racer to a comedian. Verstappen responded to Lando Norris’ suggestion to try comedy.
He stated that he is already aware of his limitations. This season, the two drivers competed for the title, with Red Bull holding a large advantage over competitors. Max Verstappen has only missed one race in Melbourne due to reliability issues. The Miami update improved McLaren’s performance and reduced the distance to Red Bull. On Thursday, Norris was informed of Verstappen’s comments and responded by suggesting that Red Bull engages in humour.
Max Verstappen Hits Back at Norris
Lando Norris rejected Max Verstappen’s claim that he would win the title in a McLaren. When asked about the Red Bull driver’s comments, the Brit suggested that Max pursue a career as a comedian. The two drivers have been buddies off the track, but this season’s on-track fights and the pressure to win the title have created tension between them. Many people are interested in how the relationship evolves.
Max Verstappen said, “No, but no one needs to respond. I know perfectly well what I can and cannot do. We don’t need to talk about that. We don’t need to spend time trying to slag people off or whatever. The championship is done. We try again next year.
