Max Verstappen won his first Formula One championship amid controversy last year and the second after confusion at the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday but this time there was no argument about the outcome.
The 25-year-old Red Bull driver has enjoyed one of the most dominant seasons in the sporsprt's history with Suzuka the scene of his 12th win in 18 races and four rounds still remaining.
That ended in one of the sport's greatest controversies, with a late change to the safety car procedures leading to a last lap overtake in Abu Dhabi. "Some of the drives have been just simply outstanding this year under enormous pressure," Horner told reporters after the Singapore Grand Prix.Adrian Newey, Red Bull's technical head who has designed a string of title-winning cars for three teams in his decades in the sport, said Verstappen had been simply superb.
He has had an impressive car, with Red Bull nailing the radical rules introduced this year, and has benefited from reliability woes, strategic missteps, and errors derailing Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc's title challenge.
