With four races still remaining, all that's left for Verstappen is to continue to add to his epic win total.
After a modest start to the season, Verstappen has won 11 of the 16 Grands Prix to bring his season tally to 12, finishing off the podium just twice.
. Title two has been quite a bit more comfortable. Autoweek assesses how a close fight swiftly became a one-man procession. In a season which has featured revised technical regulations, Red Bull has made strides with its RB18. Weight-saving exercises as it introduced upgrades naturally brought more lap time while the added bonus of a lighter car was that it dialed out the understeer, bringing it more toward Verstappen’s liking. Further set-up windows were also discovered in which the car performed strongly.
Having a strong car is always crucial for any champion, but in Verstappen’s hands it was brutally exploited. Now age 25, Verstappen has blended maturity with his vast experience—more than 150 races—and natural talent. Red Bull as a team have also been operating at a remarkably high level. The architects of that success—the likes of Horner, design guru Adrian Newey, Wache, team manager Jonathan Wheatley, principal strategy erngineer Hannah Schmitz, Verstappen’s race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase—are an exceptional unit that have barely made a mis-step this season. Schmitz’s strategies, and Lambiase’s straightforward communication, stand in contrast to how messages at certain other teams are conveyed.
