The entire Formula 1 grid broke into major celebrations for Max Verstappen‘s impressive consecutive fourth championship win. Red Bull crafted special t-shirts for the occasions as the teams clicked multiple pictures with ‘M4X’ in the front. Even the well-known interviewer Craig Slater shaved the initials on his head and surprised Verstappen with the same.

Max Verstappen achieved the highly coveted fourth championship victory and joined the likes of highly achieved individuals in Formula 1. A majority of the grid was extremely satisfied to witness Verstappen lift his fourth victory trophy. Craig Slater took the win more personally and shaved ‘M4X’ on the back of his head. Slater did this gesture to prove that there was no British bias in the sport as previously claimed by the Dutchman.

Slater interrupted Verstappen’s interview to showcase the hilarious haircut. The Dutchman was expectedly shocked at first witnessing the haircut. Subsequently, the 27-year-old told Slater that the latter had done a great job. The reigning world champion thanked the Briton for the ‘nice touch’ and added that he wouldn’t get such a haircut personally.

Zak Brown responds to Max Verstappen’ claims of winning the title in a McLaren

Max Verstappen didn’t hesitate to claim that he would’ve won the world championship much more easily in a McLaren chassis. The Dutchman had already given a great response to Zak Brown over the latter’s untoward claims. Hence, Brown fired further shots at the 27-year-old following his comments. The Englishman noted that a fast car and a driver were crucial. Moreover, the 53-year-old highlighted that six or seven drivers on the grid could win with Red Bull, downplaying the world champion’s efforts.

First it does start with the car. People ask me all the time is it car or driver? And it’s like well, it’s both. But the way I characterise it is I think there are six, seven drivers on the grid that would be world champions in the Red Bull.

The 2024 season nears completion as McLaren and Ferrari enter the battle for the constructors’ championship. Red Bull seems far off in the standings amongst Sergio Perez‘s disastrous performance. Hence, the last two races will be interesting to witness solely due to the end-of-the-season battle between the top teams.
