Max Verstappen found himself in a tough battle for the F1 world championship for the first time since 2021. The Dutch driver had to go wheel-to-wheel with Lando Norris on multiple occasions. However, as Verstappen comes closer to winning the title, Dr. Helmut Marko has reckoned that the 27-year-old might be ready to celebrate at the Las Vegas GP.
The three-time world champion currently leads Lando Norris by a whopping 62 points with just three races to go. This presents the ideal opportunity for Verstappen to win the title this weekend in Las Vegas. Few F1 pundits have even claimed that the Dutch driver will bag his fourth title with ease in the Nevadan city.
Dr. Helmut Marko was asked if Max Verstappen would be carrying merchandise to commemorate the championship triumph in ‘Sin City.’ Marko joked that Verstappen’s manager Raymond Vermeulen would make the 27-year-old carry the merch this weekend.
Knowing him, Verstappen’s manager will definitely have them in his luggage.

Helmut Marko solely credits Max Verstappen for impending 2024 title
Although, Max Verstappen is yet to bag the title. Helmut Marko is already full of praise for the Dutchman. The 81-year-old emphasized that the credit for the championship solely belongs to Verstappen. Marko highlighted that the 27-year-old managed to hide Red Bull’s car problems with his exceptional driving throughout the year.
If we win the title again this year, it will be mainly down to Max. With his exceptional driving skills, he has covered up the phases in which the car was really not good.
Helmut Marko explained
Certainly, Max Verstappen will once again solidify his place in the history books when he wins the 2024 title. The three-time world champion would be looking to put an end to this chaotic campaign and clinch victory in Vegas. However, it remains to be seen if Lando Norris can pose a challenge to Verstappen this weekend.
