Max Verstappen believes the knowledge Red Bull gained from a hard-fought 2024 Formula One season could help him in his quest to win a record-equalling fifth successive drivers' world championship.

LONDON - Max Verstappen believes the knowledge Red Bull gained from a hard-fought 2024 Formula One season could help him in his quest to win a record-equalling fifth successive drivers' world championship.

The Dutchman claimed his fourth straight title in Las Vegas in November, becoming just the fifth driver in F1 history to achieve that feat.

If he manages to retain his crown in F1's 75th anniversary season, Verstappen would join an even more exclusive club by drawing level with Michael Schumacher's record of five championships in a row.
