Max Verstappen is simply Max. He has a word for everyone and -above all – he speaks his truth, ef if this means to be NOT “Policatically correct. This is what makes Max so special.
Regarding his 4th title, Max said he would have sealed the drivers’ championship “even earlier” as a McLaren driver

Max Verstappen is convinced he would have won the 2024 Formula 1 world title if he had been driving for McLaren or Ferrari instead of Red Bull.
Verstappen clinched his fourth consecutive crown with two races to spare with a disciplined fifth place in Saturday night’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, taking nearest rival Lando Norris out of contention.

The Dutchman started the year with a dominant Red Bull RB20, but then saw McLaren take a giant leap forward in May while Red Bull’s own campaign started stuttering. Ferrari also took turns at the front, as did Mercedes on occasion.

But with Verstappen asserting that for 70 percent of the campaign he didn’t have the fastest machine, he is convinced he would have won it driving his closest rivals’ cars too.
When asked if he could have won the title with McLaren, he replied: “Yes, even earlier, so I would have been further ahead. With the Ferrari, pretty much the same I think. The Mercedes, no. I think that would have been trickier.”

Verstappen also commented on him confronting Zak Brown on Sky Sports with the McLaren CEO’s comments that he could only win the title in the dominant Red Bull, when the American came over to congratulate him.

“You know, things like that only motivate me. When people are critical or think I can only win in the best car, I will prove them wrong,” he said. “If I don’t get [that credit] now, then I don’t know what I to do.”
