Max Verstappen won his fourth straight championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix as he finished fifth, ahead of title rival Lando Norris.

Verstappen responded with the greatest display of his F1 career. In rainy conditions, he charged through to victory, taking the lead at the same moment Norris slid down the order after a mistake at Turn 1. A symbolic moment of the diverging paths of their title aspirations.

Max Verstappen has had some rough patches this year. His car has not been as dominant as it was during the 2023 season. However, at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, he still won his fourth consecutive championship.
