F1, Las Vegas, Max Verstappen World Championship poker: ‘I’m still hungry’
The Dutchman has let it be known that he will try to win a fifth title
.
At the first match point, Verstappen did not betray. The Dutchman è kept behind rival Norris, thus winning, mathematically, the World Champion title, his fourth in his career. He joins, in the All Time standings, such Formula 1 giants as Prost and Vettel.
Verstappen, post-race, è appeared decidedly satisfied to have managed to bring home a World Championship that, in the ’last period, was getting complicated: “It’ was a long season. We started out fantastic, then there’è was a difficult period but, as a team, we stuck together. We have to be proud. I never thought four titles" could come.
Looking back on his career, the Dutchman explained, "I didn’t expect it when I started. I was happy to be in F1, win GPs or go on the podium. Then è started this ride and being here with the fourth title in a row è fantastic".
A joke also about the future: "Very challenging season also on a personal level. I had to keep my composure. This championship has taught me so many lessons. That’s why è this title is also special. Future? There will be a battle with different teams. I am still hungry. Iò will take a nice break and come back" then to fight", his closing remark as World Champion for the fourth time in his career.
