“More Rewarding”: Max Verstappen Picks 2022 Chaos Over Snatching Record Title From Lewis Hamilton

Max Verstappen is the champion of season 2022. Amidst this chaotic year for Red Bull, with all the fuss around the cost cap and its repercussions, dutchman reveals which one of his titles for him was more satisfying. In an interview with Formula 1, Red Bull’s star driver explains how both titles are different from one another.

The 2022 season will go down as one of the most dominant seasons of Red Bull ever. The team has got the WCC and their star driver is crowned as the champion of 2022 before the end of the season. With this, Verstappen has also broken the record for most wins in a season by winning 14 races. Not only this, but he has also surpassed the record of Sir Lewis Hamilton’s 413 points with two races still to go.

Now amid this chaotic year for team Red Bull, Verstappen picks out which championship title is more satisfying for him. Dutchman’s second title came much easier than the first one. Last year he clinched the title in the last laps battling the Mercedes Star, Lewis Hamilton, and stopping him from achieving a record eighth world title. Whereas this year, after a slow start, he showed dominance and wrapped up winning the title with 4 races remaining.

Although every title is special to a driver, Max Verstappen says the first one was an emotional one to him. Talking to Lawrence Barretto, he said, “The first one was very emotional because you realize you have achieved everything in the sport you wanted to achieve.”

He further added picking out the second title,” The second one, because of the season we have had, is probably more rewarding. It’s very different feelings, which I think is great because it would be a little bit boring if they are the same.”

He further added, “I never thought I would be able to win 14 races in a year, but of course, incredibly proud.”

Surely the Red Bulls are on a roll this year. The team strategies and drivers all have made their contribution in this incredible season of 2022.
