Max Verstappen has won a popular vote among his fellow drivers, taking the crown despite being snubbed by Lewis Hamilton and eight others.
The Dutchman wrapped up his fourth straight Drivers’ Championship title, winning nine races in total. It was a particularly impressive feat, given that Red Bull did not have the quickest car for the majority of the campaign.
Verstappen has since been named the best individual driver of the year, winning a vote held by his rivals on the grid. Eight drivers placed him at the top of their lists but nine others, including Hamilton, did not.
