In the interest of saving time, paper and ink, instead of talking about all the races Max Verstappen won on his way to clinching his third straight world drivers’ championship, let’s talk about the ones he didn’t win: He finished second twice in the first four races, in Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan, and he had a fifth-place finish in Singapore, a track that has always given him problems.
Otherwise, Verstappen was uncatchable, reeling off a record 10-race winning streak and sealing the title with six to spare. Wrapping up the title didn’t stop the parade of wins. Despite having nothing to race for except pride and prize money, the Red Bull driver won his next four Grands Prix after clinching.
