Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive Formula 1 world title under the lights of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The 27-year-old Dutchman finished fifth in the race, which was won by George Russell. Verstappen’s title triumph marked a historic moment in the sport, cementing his status as one of the greatest drivers of all time.
George Russell cruised to victory in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, finishing 7.313 seconds clear of his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. The 26-year-old Briton made a perfect start from his fourth pole position, leading the race from start to finish. Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc finished third and fourth respectively for Ferrari.
Verstappen’s fifth-place finish was enough to secure his fourth consecutive world title. The Dutchman came home ahead of Lando Norris, who was his only title rival.
