Max Verstappen clinched his fourth Formula One world championship in Las Vegas, tying a select group of drivers with multiple titles. However, aiming for a fifth consecutive championship next year could prove even more challenging.

Only two of them -- Verstappen and Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel from 2010-2013 -- have won their first four consecutively. Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali congratulated Verstappen as fireworks exploded over the Vegas Strip. Seven different drivers have each won more than once this season but Verstappen banked the points early and then defended his lead.Ultimately, numbers and statistics are not what drives him and how much longer he stays is an open question, but Verstappen has a contract to the end of 2028.
In 2021, Verstappen and Hamilton went down to the wire in Abu Dhabi, the Dutch driver coming out on top after then-race director Michael Masi controversially changed the usual safety car procedure.
