Max Verstappen wrote his name in the history books in Las Vegas on Sunday night, winning his fourth consecutive Formula 1 world championship at the age of just 27.

The Dutchman's fifth place finish was enough to deliver him the title with two races to spare thanks to Lando Norris struggling down in sixth, but the race was won by George Russell as Mercedes dominated from start to finsih.
