Despite a double course in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take control of my dreams by heading into journalism. With a master's degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration for transfer periods, when a club must make crucial choices for next season.

Crowned world champion for the fourth consecutive time, Max Verstappen has achieved a real feat. Faced with the rise in power of Lando Norris (McLaren) but also with a less and less efficient RB-20, the Dutchman showed that he remained the big boss in the paddock, and admitted to having been under pressure for this title historical.

Once again, Max Verstappen was crowned Formula 1 world champion. Since 2021 and his first world title acquired at the expense of Lewis Hamiltonthe pilot Red Bull was no longer dethroned. However, in this 2024 edition of the world championship, the Dutchman saw the competition seriously approaching him, especially in the second part of the season.

“A lot of people were just under pressure”

Put under pressure by Lando Norris (McLaren), or by Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), Max Verstappen never gave in, and established himself as a boss during the Grand Prix of Brazilcoming to remind us who the champion was. In comments relayed by Next-Gen Auto“Super Max” conceded that this 2024 coronation had certainly been one of the most complicated to acquire. “I don’t know but yes, it really means a lot. It wasn't the easiest in any case. I think for everyone on the team it was tough, a lot of people were just under pressure. »

“I’m very proud of everyone, how we all stuck together”

Verstappen continues: “We all wanted to do well, we were coming off a 2023 season where we basically dominated. I didn't expect, of course, that it would be like that again. But at the same time, I also didn't expect it to be like the middle of this season, with such a slump without winning. But I'm very proud of everyone, how we all stuck together. »
