McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has called Max Verstappen one of the best drivers in the history of Formula 1 after he clinched his fourth championship tit

Max Verstappen cruised to a fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship Saturday night by finishing fifth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix

Max Verstappen has won his fourth Formula 1 World Championship at the Las Vegas GP. The Red Bull driver once again outshining Lando Norris and McLaren. The Papaya team went missing in qualifying, and in the race the situation did not improve and they could not prevent the Dutch driver from celebrating in Nevada at any point.

Lando Norris rubbishes claims made by Max Verstappen that he would have won his fourth title sooner if he was driving a McLaren.

Lando Norris believes his McLaren team were simply “not ready” to win an F1 drivers’ championship this year after Max Verstappen sealed the title in Las Vegas. Verstappen finished fifth, a spot above Norris, in Sin City and now has an unassailable lead in the drivers’ championship with two races left.

Asked to sum up his season in three words, Lando Norris thinks for a long time before settling on an answer. “Pretty damn good,” he says eventually. Then he has another think and downgrades the ‘good’ to ‘decent’.
