It has been quite the journey for Max Verstappen, from a 17-year-old baby faced rookie to a three-time world champion. After his latest triumph we look back on the Red Bull driver's epic story so far.

Verstappen sealed his third consecutive championship in a row at the Qatar Grand Prix Sprint. While he only needed to finish sixth, he wound up crossing the line in second place behind the McLaren of Oscar Piastri.

Quite simply, he has the DNA of a champion.
