Verstappen sealed the title at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but in all honesty, he had it as good as wrapped up following his stunning drive at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen snubs Ferrari

Verstappen's championship win in 2024 is arguably his most impressive given the fact that for large parts of the season, Red Bull did not appear to have the fastest car.

Now, in an interview with Blick, the four-time champion was quizzed on whether or not he would have become world champion sooner than in Las Vegas had he been in the machinery of his rivals.

In November, he claimed that this was the case, but appears to have softened his stance since, now snubbing Ferrari's championship credentials.

"I would answer that question with a resounding yes for McLaren," Verstappen replied.

"But I wouldn't be so sure about Ferrari."
