Max Verstappen is now a four-time Formula 1 world champion. Here are the 10 critical moments that meant he prevailed in his at-times bitter battle with McLaren’s Lando Norris
Max Verstappen now sits alongside Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel in terms of Formula 1 world titles. Only Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton are ahead of his four-crown haul. He sealed his latest with fifth place in Las Vegas with two rounds still to run, the hopes of McLaren’s Lando Norris formally ended after Verstappen’s Brazil brilliance had effectively ended his rival’s long-slim chance of scoring a first championship in this unexpectedly interesting campaign.
Although he still closed the gap to 76 around his rival’s latest Hamilton clash, it could’ve been correspondingly bigger given his rival’s eventually angry finishing position. The other side of the summer break, another Piastri lap one attack also cost Norris dear. This was after they’d locked out the front row at Monza with the Briton on pole and leading through the opening chicane. But Piastri’s late-braking, outside assault at the second one had Norris so sideways he also fell behind Leclerc.
