Max Verstappen is well on his way to his highest points finish in a season as a Red Bull driver. But that is not going to satisfy him. The 5 seasons of Max Verstappen has given us many unmistakeably stardust moments. Often it is a who-would-have-thunk that, other times is a certified classic move, and the rest are a mix of audacious, capricious, and devious. He splits opinions, sharply. That's what makes him a box-office star in F1. That's what draws a legion of fans dressed in Dutch Orange cheering his moves, especially around European circuits. He is ready for a title brawl, given an opportunity with a consistently quick and reliably competitive machinery.

The rise of Charles Leclerc has given him a worthy adversary for duels of the future. And old foe Carlos Sainz Jr. has done some fine maturing over the years. The next 5 seasons of Max Verstappen are going to provide fascinating storylines.

Championship: 4th | Points: 235* | Podiums: 7 | Wins: 2
