Max Verstappen defied expectations with a masterful drive at the Spanish Grand Prix 🚗💨, securing his fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship title despite fierce competition from Lando Norris and a resurgent Mercedes team.
The race ignited instantly as Verstappen surged past Norris’ pole-position McLaren at the start, later overtaking George Russell’s Mercedes on Lap 2. While Norris insisted "we had the quickest car," Verstappen’s aggressive strategy and flawless execution kept him ahead. Lewis Hamilton claimed his first 2024 podium, adding drama before his Ferrari switch next year.
"The beginning made the race," Verstappen said, crediting early maneuvers for his win. With 7 victories in 10 races this season, the Red Bull star now leads the standings with 219 points – 69 ahead of second-place Norris.
