We want to welcome you to our website about Formula 1.
We hope that you find everything you are interested about Formula 1 on our website.
Your standing for the causes that matter to you has brought them global attention. Your voice has never been stronger or more valued. You have been honest and unflinching, brave and true. I can’t think of another racing driver who’d appear on a political panel show in a country not of his own, in a language that isn’t his mother tongue, and prove to be the most salient, understanding, and reasonable guest. And yet you were. And won even more admirers. I know you’ve not done this alone. You have leant on the support of your family, both those we have seen at track and those you have protected from the glare of the media spotlight. Your extended family, Antti, Britta, have been with you every step of the way.
Verstappen won a record-breaking 15 races this year – including nine of the last 11 races – setting the new benchmark for the most wins in a season, as he surpassed the previous record of 13, that was held by Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. Verstappen finished on the podium 17 times in total this year – a third place finish in Monaco and second place in Austria to go along with his 15 wins. The double world champion scored 454 points this season, Verstappen took eight DHL pole position awards this season, but only started P1 seven times because he picked up a grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix, after having gone fastest in qualifying. Verstappen's tally was the second-best behind Leclerc, who had nine.
