Yes, Max Verstappen is still on pace for yet another world title – it will be No. 4 in a row for the Dutchman unless Red Bull self-implodes.
The four cars fielded by Mercedes and McLaren have emerged as threats to Verstappen, while Ferrari’s Prancing Horses are also right there. That has produced thrillingly unpredictable races like Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix where Verstappen finished fourth. “The pedigree of drivers at the top today are really elite and amazing,” the former seven-time world champion said.Last year, Verstappen recorded an eighth straight victory by finishing first at the Belgian GP and entered the summer break with a 125-point lead over teammate Sergio Pérez. Verstappen would go on to make it an F1 record 10 wins in a row and 19 wins in 22 races for the season. He won 15 races in 2022.
“We are looking forward to the summer break and having a bit of time to relax, but at the same time we are committed to being better and faster and are trying to find solutions as we go into the rest of the season,” Verstappen said after the race at Spa.
