Entering into Formula One, touted as the pinnacle of motorsports, is not a piece of cake. Only the best twenty racers from around the world make it into one of the seats at the ten teams which currently race in F1. And being crowned the best amongst those twenty superbly talented drivers is a fairytale that only a select few can ever achieve in real life. 25-year-old generational talent Max Verstappen has done just that for three times in a row. With his resounding podium win at the Qatar GP Sprint Race, Max finished his F1 title hat-trick with Red Bull.
Max Verstappen’s dominance has been an undeniable one throughout the current 2023 season. He has been in a brilliant form right from the first race in Bahrain. He won thirteen out of the sixteen races held so far, with a huge score of 400 to his credit. His closest competitor is his own teammate Sergio Perez who managed to clinch victory at two of the Grands Prix this season, and is currently 177 points behind Max. As this points gap is insurmountable even if Perez wins all the remaining Grands Prix from now on, Max got declared the World Champion with six races still left to be held.
But attaining the F1 World title is not something that Max Verstappen is unaccustomed to. He has achieved this task twice before, and one would think that the Dutchman is used to winning laurels now. But he claimed that his third and most recent F1 World Championship win is the most special one. He said, “This one (title victory) is the best one.”

The Dutchman has achieved this task at only 25 years of age, making his victory all the more important in the history of Formula 1. And he has said he is proud of his results, saying, “For me, this one is probably the one I’m the most proud of in a way, because of the consistency.”
Right from the season opener in Bahrain, Max Verstappen and his team, Red Bull, have established their dominance in this year. The RB-19 glided in the places where the rival cars seemed to just walk clumsily. And all this helped Max Verstappen get to the top of the Standings after surpassing some far more experienced rivals like Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. He has won all but three Grands Prix till date, and looks all set to extend his streat by winning the Qatar GP too.
Taking part in the celebrations for his World Championship win, Max Verstappen had his father Jos Verstappen and girlfriend Kelly Piquet in Qatar with him. Jos proudly claimed that Max’s talent was evident right from his karting days while Kelly Piquet proudly claimed that Max Verstappen has now equalled the number of Championships that her father, Nelson Piquet Sr., had achieved during his F1 career.
