Verstappen secures historic fourth F1 drivers' title

Max Verstappen has become a four-time Formula 1 world champion.

Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive F1 drivers' title in the Las Vegas Grand Prix.  The four-time world champion clinched another crown after finishing fifth at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, the same position he started from. Verstappen entered the Las Vegas GP with a 62-point lead over Lando Norris, knowing that he would win the title if he finished ahead of the Briton in any position.  McLaren struggled in Sin City and offered no fight for the podium places, with Norris having finished comfortably adrift of the Dutchman in sixth place.  With a fourth drivers' title secured, Verstappen joins Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost in the elusive four-time world champion club. The 27-year-old is just the sixth driver to have won four titles, with Juan Manuel Fangio having won five titles, whilst Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher have claimed seven.
