Max Verstappen has been crowned champion of the world for a fourth successive year after finishing fifth at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which was won in dominant style by George Russell. Verstappen needed only to outscore Lando Norris to become just the sixth driver in Formula One history to win four titles or more. And, with Norris taking the chequered flag in only sixth, Verstappen is guaranteed the world crown with two races remaining.
And after Verstappen raced to four wins from the opening five rounds this year - against the backdrop of the furore surrounding his boss, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner - many F1 observers were expecting the Dutchman to run away with the title. But Red Bull’s superiority suddenly vanished into thin air, with McLaren, Ferrari and even Mercedes at times boasting quicker cars. Red Bull are on course to finish third in the constructors’ championship this year.
