Max Verstappen drops early retirement hint as he talks 'different emotions' of title wins

Max Verstappen has dropped a hint that he could well be contemplating an early retirement from Formula 1 on the back oF winning his second world championship. Verstappen secured back-to-back world titles at the Japanese Grand Prix earlier this month, after dominating on the track once again.

His sixth win in seven races was enough to secure his second world triumph, 10 months on from his dramatic maiden title win at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Verstappen joins an illustrious group of world champions, some of whom he is still competing against today.

His rival and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton continues to compete at the highest level despite being 37-years-old, whilst two-time winner Fernando Alonso has recently extended his stay in F1 aged 40.
