Martin Brundle breaks down the significance of Max Verstappen becoming a four-time world champion in a year Red Bull were usurped as F1's fastest team.
Congratulations to Max Verstappen on his fourth straight Formula 1 world championship. The mental and physical commitment for that consistent level of performance and achievement, through good times and bad, while risking your life for a prolonged time, is superhuman. A few racing drivers achieve F1 status, some of us scored points, others stood on the podium, some won races, and a few won championships.
As Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc swapped positions here and there with different tyre performances, seemingly constantly in each other's way, they couldn't catch Russell or defend from Hamilton. They both passed a compliant Verstappen, who was mostly watching Lando Norris behind him, with a little bit of effort and time. Sainz was lucky not to receive a penalty for taking to the pit entry lane and then being told to stay on track because the team weren't ready.
