Max Verstappen has won the 2023 World Championship title after finishing second in a very exciting Qatar Grand Prix Sprint Race. He joins Schumacher, Hamilton, Vettel and Fangio as a three time back-to-back world champions.

2023 will be known for Max and Red Bull's dominance, with an incredible 13 wins from Max in the season so far, only missing out on first-place Grand Prix finishes in Singapore (Sainz), Azerbaijan (Perez) and Saudi Arabia (Perez).

Max hasn't finished lower than 5th in any race in the season so far, with only the Qatar (tomorrow), United States (October 22), Mexican (October 29), Brazilian (November 5), Las Vegas (November 19) and Abu Dhabi (November 26) Grand Prix still to go.

Red Bull has already won the 2023 Constructors Championship, which they did at the Japanese Grand Prix during the last race.

Max's World Championship Journey:
Bahrain - 1st - 25 points
Saudi Arabia - 2nd - 19 points
Australia - 1st - 25 points
Azerbaijan - 2nd - 24 points (sprint)
Miami - 1st - 26 points
Monaco - 1st - 25 points
Spain - 1st - 26 points
Canada - 1st - 25 points
Austria - 1st - 34 points (sprint)
Great Britain - 1st - 26 points
Hungary - 1st - 26 points
Belgium - 1st - 33 points (sprint)
Netherlands - 1st - 25 points
Italy - 1st - 25 points
Singapore - 5th - 10 points
Japan - 1st - 26 points

Will Max continue his dominance for the rest of the season? How many races can he win? Only time will tell. Qatar full race to go, then four more races until Abu Dhabi in November.
