Formula 1 world has never seen Max Verstappen celebrate this much after winning the world championship. Even in 2021, it was just a moderate kind of celebration for Max with the Red Bull team. But this year it was different and unusual as the Dutchman doesn’t express his feelings to the outside world too much.

The fourth title for Max Verstappen is very special as he overcame many challenges from on-track to off-track like fighting the British media, FIA and many more unknown obstacles. This year Max Verstappen had to face many critics than challenges. He was heavily grilled by the media especially the British for his racing technique and aggression. The FIA also had their part on Max Verstappen as they punished him for swearing during the Press conference at the Singapore GP.

The Dutchman also thought about retiring earlier than he expected from Motorsport as he felt if there is no enjoyment in racing, then there is no point in staying. He also faced his first challenger in three years since 2021. Verstappen won many of the races in the first half of the season and everyone thought the Red Bull machine was unstoppable and their reign would continue even this year. McLaren emerged as a surprise from the Miami Grand Prix with some key upgrades and they dominated the Red Bull team in every race.

The Red Bull driver went from winning every race to nothing for 10 straight races. He was struggling with his car as it had no pace when compared with Lando Norris’s McLaren. He even had some incidents with the British driver for which he was slammed by the Media and many F1 pundits. Ferrari also went ahead of the Red Bull team at some point and Red Bull lost its constructors title lead.

The Brazilian Grand prix was the turning point for the three-time world champion as he showed mastery in the rain-hit Interlagos circuit won the race and also showed the world that he was a true champion. With a slow Red Bull car compared with Ferrari and McLaren, Max verstappen continuously hit the Podium even though he didn't win any of the 10 races after the Spanish Grand prix. This also helped him to maintain the lead over Lando Norris and eventually helped him to win his fourth title in the Las Vegas Grand Prix as he finished ahead of Lando Norris in fifth place.
