The Formula 1 season had its final race this past weekend. With Max Verstappen getting his 19th win of the season. Giving Red bull their 22nd win of the season.
James(11) said “Red Bull is my favorite team, and it was fun to see Red Bull win back-to-back-to-back championship. My favorite driver is Max Verstappen, and it was fun to watch him dominate the way he did.”
Max Verstappen had a historical season with all the records he broke. Starting with the record for the most consecutive wins, which he broke with ten, the previous record (9) was set ten years ago and was that to be a feat that was impossible. Another record broken by Verstappen was the record for most points in a season. This season, Verstappen had 575 which is over 150 points more than the prior record.
He also became the first driver ever to lead for more than 1000 laps, a feat no one has ever come close to.
Verstappen was dominant all season long, so dominant that he won the drivers’ championship in just the 17th race of the season.
Even with all the dominance from Red Bull, the season still had some surprises throughout the year. For example, McLaren had a big turnaround after not being on their A game the whole season.
Sam 12th said “It wasn’t as competitive as the last two seasons where but still entertaining but there was never any real competition for who was going to win. It was still enjoyable to watch how close McLaren came to winning some races.”
