Red Bull chief advisor Helmut Marko revealed that Max Verstappen has been at the factory at Milton Keynes much more this season than before. The Dutch driver sealed his 4th title in Las Vegas the previous weekend and has since received a lot of accolades from drivers and teams alike.
The Red Bull-Max combination began the season with a strong car, and the driver made the most of it. Until Miami, where McLaren was expected to bring a major upgrade, Verstappen had dropped just one race win in Australia, where the reliability issue cost him the race.
From Miami onwards, however, Red Bull saw rivals McLaren and Ferrari catch up in terms of competitiveness. From that point onwards, it was all about managing the lead as Verstappen came with the 4th title. Looking back, however, it's safe to say that it was not easy, and there was a spot of bother for the team-driver combination as well on whether they would be able to hold off Lando Norris.
