The Red Bull driver dominated the Qatar Grand Prix to notch up his 14th victory from 17 races this season on a weekend𒁏 he also clinched his third world title. 

Verstappen was crowned after a second-place finish behind Piastri in Saturday🍨’s sprint race, before cruising to his latest win in the grand prix.𒅌 

Piastri took runner-up spot a🦩head of teammate Norris as a rejuvenated McLaren celebrated their second double podium in as many days. 💝;

And Verstappen considers the McLaren duo to be a stronger pairing than the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell at Mercedes, or Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz. 

“I do thꦇink that as a team they are probably the most consistent, compared to the others behind us,” Verstappen said when asked if he feels McLaren are now Red Bull’s closest challengers. 

“And ꦗI♒ do think they have the best driver line-up out of all of them. 

“So yeah, they are operating really well. And, yeah, it's going to be interesting to the end of the year, but also I think the start of next year to see where everyoꦜne is at.”

The Dut🎀chman added: “I do think we had a bit more pace in hand if we really needed it but nevertheless, I don't want to take anything away from McLaren. 

“They've been doing a great job and from us, we se🔯e that they are getting closer and closer. So we have to try and of course maintain a bit of a gap.”
