Max Verstappen had every reason to celebrate his fourth F1 title in style, and that's exactly what he did. According to George Russell, the Red Bull driver threw an epic party in Las Vegas after clinching his fourth consecutive championship win. It was a moment that solidified Verstappen's place as an F1 legend.
The race itself ended late in the evening, around 11:30pm local time, and the celebrations kicked off immediately. Verstappen even showed up to the post-race press conference with a beer in hand. While details about the party are scarce, the Dutchman was clearly in high spirits during various TV interviews in the hours after his victory.
When asked about his plans for the night, Verstappen joked that he had run out of beer and may switch to a different drink now that he didn't have to drive anymore. Thankfully, Russell was able to share some insight into the party, having spotted Verstappen the morning after the race.
According to Russell, Verstappen was enjoying a large gin and tonic and being sprayed with champagne by his team when he spotted him. Verstappen confirmed this, adding that he was very thirsty and it was 5pm somewhere. Russell then jokingly listed off Verstappen's many talents, including being a pro racing driver, FIFA player, paddle player, and drinker.
It's no surprise that Verstappen was in a cheerful mood, as he has a history of enjoying a good drink after a big win. Last year, he revealed that he had five gin and tonics on the night he won his third title in Qatar. However, this weekend's Qatar Grand Prix may be a bit more challenging for Red Bull, as they are expected to lose the constructors' championship to either McLaren or Ferrari. Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez were off the pace during Friday's practice, making it a tough race for them.
But for now, Verstappen can bask in the glory of his fourth F1 title and party like a true champion. And who knows, maybe he'll even break out some of his other talents on the dance floor.
