However, Verstappen only had to finish above his main championship rival, Lando Norris, to claim the title with the McLaren star unable to finish any higher than P6.

Despite losing his first chance at a world title, Norris was one of the first to offer his congratulations to the star after an intense rivalry with Verstappen throughout the season.

Red Bull present Verstappen with stunning world title gift

Verstappen’s fourth world title marks a significant step for the Dutchman in the F1 history books, where he joined the likes of Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost.

Only Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton remain ahead of the Red Bull star on the most number of world titles, and at the age of 27, Verstappen still has plenty of time to chase down these accolades.

However, for now, he will focus on celebrating the astonishing achievement with Red Bull, after a difficult year both on and off track for the outfit.

The team also presented Verstappen with a stunning gift after his championship win, with Red Bull chief Helmut Marko handing it to his driver.
