168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen is confident he would have won this year’s F1 world championship “sooner” if he was driving for McLaren, while suggestin♛g he'd have been wor🥀ld champion with Mercedes in 2021.

Verstappen clinched his fourth F1 world title at Las Vegas Grand Prix with a P5 finish, one place ahead of main rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

At one point in🅺 the season, it looked unlikely that Verstappen would retain his title amid Red B💎ull’s poor performance.

The Dutchman’s win in Sao Paulo proved crucial to his title triumph after coming out on top after startin⛦ꦉg from 17th on the grid.

Reflecting on the lastဣ four years, Verstappen feels he would have won this year’s title if he was🍸 driving for McLaren.

Verstappen also claimed he would have taken the 2021 title driving for Mercedes - but admitted winn♔ing for Ferrari in 2022 oꦡr another team in 2023 would have been “more difficult”.

“Such things only motivate me,” Verstappen told . “If peo🌳ple are critical and think I can only win in the best car, 🔯I will prove them wrong.

“If I don’t get cre♌dit for this n𓃲ow, I don’t know what else I can do.

“Wh🦋ether I would have become champion in the McLaren? Yes! And a lot sooner too. In 2021, in another car, I would have taken the title too.

“In 2022 it would have become more difficult, because Ferಌrari was maybe a bit too fragile then. And last year? Well, that would have been a bit trickier.”

Verstappen has won four consecutive F1 titles.

The 27-year-old feels that his title win in 2023 is ‘underappreciated’ given he won 10 races i🐲n a row ♓- 19 out of 23 overall.

“Last year, I had a dominant car, but I always felt that not eveꦐryone appreciated what we achieved as a team, winning 10 in a r🅰ow,” he said in the FIA press conference after the race.

ও“Of course, our car was dominant, but it wasn’t as✃ dominant, I think, as people thought it was.

“So that’s for sure my best season I will always look back at.  Because even in places where maybe we didn’t have the per🐻fect set-up, we were still capable because in the race, our car was always quite strong to win races.

“But I’m also v𒀰ery proud of this season because for most of the season, I would say for 70 per cent of the season, we didn’t have the fastest car, butꦦ actually we still extended our lead. So that is definitely something that I’m very proud of.”
