Verstappen captures 4th F1 championship after Mercedes sweep of Las Vegas Grand Prix
Max Verstappen cruised to a fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship Saturday night by finishing fifth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Asked how he planned to celebrate his fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship, Max Verstappen did a quick scan of the room searching for a drop of alcohol.
“Well, I ran out of beer, so I don't know,” he said. “Maybe another one, and then maybe I switch to something else. I don't need to drive anymore, so we don't do the drink and drive. I don't need to do that.”
Actually, Verstappen can do anything he wants after finishing fifth on Saturday night in the Las Vegas Grand Prix to beat Lando Norris of McLaren for the title with two F1 races remaining this season.
The Red Bull driver is now a king of Las Vegas, a year after he arrived in Sin City extremely negative about the extravagant race on the famed Strip. He won and completely changed his tune last November as the Dutchman even sang “Viva Las Vegas” as he crossed the finish line.
