Formula 1

Max Verstappen has added yet another chapter to his remarkable career, securing his fourth consecutive Formula 1 World Championship title at just 27 years old. The Red Bull Racing superstar continues to rewrite the history books, outpacing legends like Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton in terms of age when claiming four titles.

The Youngest Elite Club

Although Verstappen's latest triumph cements his place among the sport’s greats, he narrowly missed becoming the youngest four-time champion in Formula 1 history. That honor remains with Sebastian Vettel, who achieved the feat at the age of 26 in 2013, also driving for Red Bull.

Still, Verstappen's dominance has propelled him into an exclusive group of six drivers who have claimed four or more world titles—a testament to his consistency and skill behind the wheel.
