Verstappen's success in Vegas tied him level with the likes of Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost on four titles, with the Dutchman still only 27 and likely to have a long career in F1 still ahead of him.
Verstappen celebrates latest arrival
Despite sitting on top of the standings for the whole of 2024, it's been far from a straightforward campaign for Verstappen.
Normally so dominant on the track, Verstappen has failed to find a consistent run of results, which opened the door for McLaren racer Lando Norris to mount a title charge.
The British driver had been chipping away at Verstappen's lead throughout the second half of the season, but his chances of an unexpected maiden championship were all but ended following the Red Bull man's stunning victory in Brazil.
The 62-time race winner has also been celebrating some good news away from the track, too.
In a video posted on Red Bull's Instagram account, Verstappen revealed that he has added another member to the Red Bull family: his new cat Donatello.
Already the proud owner of two other cats, Jimmy and Sassy, he was beaming as he made the heartwarming announcement to his loyal fans across the world.
