Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive Formula 1 World Championship with a fifth-place finish at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Despite facing challenges with his car's setup and Mercedes' speed, Verstappen outperformed Lando Norris, securing the title with three more points.
Saturday night was all right for Max Verstappen . The Red Bull racer finished in fifth place at the Las Vegas Grand Prix and it was enough to capture his fourth consecutive Formula 1 World Championship . He needed to finish ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris to pick up the title win and did just that. Norris was in sixth place.
It was far from the easiest weekend for Verstappen. Red Bull made a mistake adjusting his rear wing and data showed his vehicle was running slower than Mercedes drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton on the straightaways. While Russell captured the pole, Verstappen was able to get enough out of the car to start in fifth. He only needed to score three more points than Norris to clinch the world championship. Norris qualified sixth. Mercedes was clearly quicker. Russell won the race.
McLaren entered the weekend 36 points ahead of Ferrari in the constructors’ standings. After the Las Vegas result, McLaren will be up 24 points going into Qatar . Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
