Max fappen has won his fourth consecutive championship and obviously he is slowly but surely Paving the way as one of the greatest to drive in the sport but considering that in 70% of the Season he didn't have the fastest car he made sure to drop a proper bombshell on Norris and Hamilton regarding the Championships in which he actually had competition on the grid but will this motivate Norris in order to become a greater and more complete driver next year and more importantly can Hamilton redeem his revenge from 2021 with a different team it's safe to
say that 2024 has given us some of the most interesting races in the history of the sport and it's the first season in which seven drivers have won two or more races in a season but even with that vapen managed to secure the fourth championship in his career and there is no doubt that it's arguably the best out of all of them with 2021 maybe in the mix but vapen has been labeled as the driver who had the fastest car by a mile in 2022 and 2023 and that's why many expected that 2024 was going
to be a walk in the park especially after the first five races of the season but for stappen himself believes otherwise and said that there is a lot more behind his success and that he would have definitely won the title in the cars that his competitors had in 2024 and 2021 when talking about it for stappen said the comments from Zack Brown only motivate me if people people are critical and think I can only win in the best car I will prove them wrong if I don't get credit for this now I don't know what
else I can do whether I would have become champion in the McLaren yes and a lot sooner too in 2021 in another car I would have taken the title too in 2022 it would have become more difficult because Ferrari was maybe a bit too fragile then and last year well that would have been a bit trickier this is the mind of a champion and by saying that would have won the championship much earlier in the McLaren car goes on to prove one thing he's not messing around when it comes to fighting at the front regardless
of the Machinery he has of course fapen wouldn't even probably bring himself into a situation to chase such a great deficit if he had the car that Norris had from Miami onwards but then again people are still going to find a way to hate on the Dutchman because he's speaking the truth and nothing but the truth as for 2021 the comment is very controversial because we know how that season ended of course it's not for sten's fault that the drivers had one lap of clean racing and he utilized the most of it by pitting for
fresh tires Hamilton knew that his team screwed up as soon as he passed right next to the pit Lane and the safety car was already on the situation developed the way it did but being a title Challenger for the first time in your career and barely making any mistakes let alone surviving the impact of Silverstone and driving a recovery race in Budapest in 2021 is something that is definitely showing what type of driver vapen is for ven even 2023 is a season in which teams and Rivals went to underestimate his team because of the fact
he's won 10 races in a row and won 19 out of the 23 contests we visited on the calendar and that can be proven by the fact that in 2024 V stappen has won the championship with arguably the third fastest car on the grid which was done two times so far in Formula 1 history in 1982 and 1983 by KK rosberg and Nelson P when talking about the underestimation that he and his team received for 2023 vapen said last year I had a dominant car but I always felt that not everyone appreciated what we achieved
as a team winning 10 in a row of course our car was dominant but I wasn't as dominant I think as people thought it was so that's for sure my best season and I will always look back at because even in places where maybe we didn't have the perfect setup we were still capable because in the race our car was always quite strong to win races but I'm also very proud of this season because for most of the season I would say for 70% of the Season we didn't have the fastest car but actually we
extended our lead so that is definitely something that I am very proud of who can blame fappen for an opinion like this I definitely can't because if we look at what Perez is doing in more or less the same car even with his own request to change the chassis in Brazil that resulted in miserable results for the Mexican driver and of course he was more or less provoked by comments made from Brown and Norris the vapen would need the fastest car on the grid in order to win the championship and if he's to leave Red
Bull then he won't be able to win and compete when talking about this Zack Brown said I don't think without a star driver you're going to win so you need both first it does start with the car people ask me all the time is it car or driver and it's like well it's both I think the way I characterize it is I think there are six seven drivers on the grid that will be world champions in the Red Bull as great as Max is and he is one of the best ever I don't think Max
wins the World Championship today in any other car other than Red Bull a horrendous take that didn't end well but it is what it is and we're now looking at one of the greatest drives in the sport and what could possibly be the best season that we've ever witnessed in 2025 this is the year in which Hamilton will start his revenge Mission and hunt the eighth record-breaking championship and it's also the year in which Norris will try to prove to the F1 world that he is in fact made out of Championship material and let's not
forget lir who will have a lot to say about the Ferrari situation after the Las Vegas GP as he will very likely be more and more selfish from now on regardless of who his teammate is but the British media however feel like for stappen is far away from the greatest drivers in the sport because of one reason he hasn't won a championship outside of Red Bull vettle hasn't done the same but he is still considered one of the greatest drivers in the world with 51 wins in an era that was dominated by the Austrian team
nevertheless the telegraph wrote about verstappen's Legacy after he went on to secure the fourth consecutive Championship further proving the bigotry that's present between them and fappen as the paper went on to say Max fappen must leave re bold to become a Formula 1 Legend teams sponsored by an energy drink do not stir the same emotions as Ferrari and Mercedes does he dare forsake the carefully curated Red Bull brand for some true F1 Heritage if he hopes to cement his legend for posterity he needs to make the leap sooner rather than later however we're talking about
a team that's sixth in the alltime list of Constructor championships within touching distance of lotus and only two behind Mercedes and McLaren for example Mclaren has been present in the sport since 1996 whereas Rebel joined in 2006 so to still call the team an energy drink one is kind of disrespectful especially if you see what type of drivers it's produced starting with Vettel for stappen and Ricardo and ending with Lawson who is showing huge promise for the future with all this in mind do you think that ven's comments regarding winning the Championships in the cars
of his Rivals were legitimate ones and if so do you think that if he wins the championship in 2025 with Red Bull he will definitely cement his legacy as one of the greatest to ever do it in the sport let us know in the comments below and if you're interested in the latest drama ravaging Ferrari after the Las Vegas GP make sure to check out the video that's appearing on your screen right now [Music]
