Verstappen delivers BRUTAL clapback at rival F1 chief live on air
Max Verstappen delivered a sharp response to a Formula 1 rival live on air during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where he clinched his fourth world championship title.
The Red Bull driver secured the championship after finishing fifth, one spot ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris, whose slim title hopes came to an end.
While McLaren missed out on the drivers’ title, they remain ahead of Ferrari in the constructors’ standings.
Verstappen’s 2024 triumph marks one of the most challenging seasons of his career.
Unlike his dominant 2023 campaign, where he won 19 out of 23 races, this year saw Red Bull facing performance struggles and fierce competition from resurgent rivals, including McLaren.
Despite the challenges, Verstappen’s remarkable consistency and a critical win in Brazil allowed him to maintain the upper hand over Norris, who pushed him to the final races of the season.
Following the race, McLaren CEO Zak Brown interrupted Verstappen’s Sky Sports interview to congratulate him with a hug.
While Verstappen was in high spirits, he couldn’t resist a playful dig at Brown.
Referring to previous comments about his reliance on superior machinery, Verstappen quipped, “Like you said, before I could only win it in the fastest car, this year has been a little bit different.”
The light-hearted moment highlighted Verstappen’s confidence and sense of humor as he celebrated a hard-fought title victory.
For McLaren, the disappointment of losing the drivers’ title is tempered by their strong performance in the constructors’ standings, as they continue to edge out Ferrari.
Verstappen’s fourth championship solidifies his position among the sport’s elite and showcases his ability to adapt and excel even when faced with adversity.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix served as a fitting stage for his latest achievement, further cementing his legacy as one of the most formidable drivers in Formula 1 history.
