Pilot Red Bull Max Verstappen became ahead of schedule Formula 1 world champion V season 2023.
Today Verstappen took second place in the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix and became unattainable for his closest pursuer Sergio Perez, who did not finish the sprint. Let us remind you that for Max to win the championship it was enough to finish no lower than sixth place.
In the overall Formula 1 standings, Verstappen is 184 points ahead of his team-mate with six Grands Prix left in the season. The successful performances of Max and Sergio allowed Red Bull to win the Constructors’ Championship ahead of schedule.
Verstappen became world champion for the third time in his career (2021, 2022, 2023) and equaled Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna.
Winner of the sprint race in Qatar became Oscar Piastri from McLaren. Australian teammate Lando Norris took third place.
The main Formula 1 Grand Prix race in Qatar will take place on October 8 (20:00). Verstappen became the winner of qualifying.
