Verstappen's fourth Formula 1 title: Unbeatable?

Max Verstappen won his fourth consecutive Formula 1 title on Saturday in Las Vegas. Despite the success of the Red Bull driver, his competitors made it clear that the Dutchman is not invincible. Verstappen secured the championship with a sixth-place finish on the glamorous Las Vegas Strip, just ahead of Lando Norris of McLaren, who was considered a serious threat. George Russell of Mercedes, who won the race, emphasized that no one is unbeatable. In dominant phases of a team, doubts about one's own competitiveness may arise, but it is crucial to believe in oneself. Verstappen has rewritten the Formula 1 records this year, but the challenges in the second half of the season proved to be tougher than expected. Carlos Sainz of Ferrari, who finished third in Las Vegas, pointed out that with equal equipment, any of the leading drivers can put pressure on the others. The second half of the season has shown how important managing pressure situations is, so that even small mistakes can have large impacts. Verstappen himself expressed pride in his team's cohesion during the difficult phases of the season and looks confidently towards the coming year. The remaining races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi could already provide insights into the upcoming challenges.
