Verstappen is the world champion for years to come

Max Verstappen 's new world title by no means came out of the blue in Japan. It had been known for several race weekends that the Dutchman would end the world championship winningly, only it was still unclear at what point this would be final. Verstappen's dominance does not seem to be ending for now.

Between 2010 and 2013, Red Bull Racing first experienced a period when it knocked off the competition. Sebastian Vettel managed to string together world titles and take the top prize four seasons in a row. Moreover, the Austrian racing stable took the constructors' championship in all race years.

As the hybrid era started in 2014, requiring teams to make many changes, Red Bull lost its big lead to Mercedes. However, Christian Horner 's team has not yet forgotten the period, although Verstappen may just surpass it.

Verstappen can improve on Vettel successes

This season, Verstappen showed again that he does not need the best car to clinch the world title. After a difficult start to the season, mainly after the summer break, he managed to keep his rivals behind him with childlike ease, thereby taking a shot at the world title.

There will be no major changes to the cars until the new 2026 engine regulations. If Verstappen manages to maintain his current form, he will have at least three more seasons to pull off the winning streak. In that case, he would hold five world titles: a record for Red Bull. Knowing Verstappen, he will not dare to look that far ahead yet, but the potential for the coming years makes his world title clear once again.
