Max Verstappen He is a two-time Formula 1 champion. This second world championship has been with tremendous superiority. It has nothing to do with the first one he conquered, defeating Lewis Hamilton on the last lap of the last race, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Many agree that an era of dominance has begun for both the Dutch driver and the Red Bull team. his father, Joseph Verstappenpredicted “five very nice years” for them, making it clear that he sees his favorite son in the immediate future of the ‘Great Circus’.
Also Sergio Pérez, his teammate, who in statements to ‘PlanetF1’ has talked about how difficult it is to compete against him: “Obviously it’s not an easy task. I don’t think there is anyone who can come and beat him immediately. He’s very solid with the team.”
“I think I’m getting closer and closer with the year, so I’ll give it another go for next year and see what happens,” said the Mexican driver, who was third at home last weekend.
Red Bull has been unattainable in this 2022: “I think the lesson of this year is that we have had a great season as a team. We need to pick up that race pace.”
The Dutch numbers are record. He has already become the driver with the most victories in the same season (14), surpassing the legend of Michael Schumacher. And there are still the appointments in Brazil and Abu Dhabi before closing the season definitively.
A season in which Ferrari was a rival at the beginning, but has deflated as the months have passed. Neither has Mercedes arrived on time. It remains to be seen if these two teams can overshadow the super champions of Red Bull and Verstappen next year.
