Verstappen cruised to a fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship on Saturday night by finishing fifth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Verstappen needed only to finish ahead of Lando Norris of McLaren to give Red Bull a fourth straight driver championship. The Dutchman started fifth but was already up to second by the 10th lap around the street circuit that includes the famed Las Vegas Strip.
Norris, who had to score at least three points more than Verstappen to extend the championship fight, finished sixth. Verstappen needed only to finish higher than Norris to win the title, which he did with two races remaining on the season.
«Max Verstappen you are a four-time world champion,» team principal Christian Horner said on the radio. «That is a phenomenal, phenomenal achievement. You can be incredibly proud of yourself as we are.»
Verstappen, only the sixth driver in F1 history to win at least four titles, sounded unusually emotional on the radio.
