Max Verstappen described his 2024 F1 season as special, emotional and crazy during the FIA prize distribution gala in Rwanda. The Red Bull driver defended his championship title after beating Lando Norris by a 63-point difference.
Red Bull's dominance in the 2024 season wasn't the same as in the 2023 season, as they struggled to win races in the second half. McLaren closed the gap significantly with a few upgrades, and Norris became a direct competitor of Verstappen in the championship race.
The Dutch driver won nine races in the 2024 F1 season, a significant drop from the previous year, where he secured a record 19 victories. As he clinched his fourth championship title in a row, Verstappen collected his trophy at the FIA gala held on December 13 in the East African country, Rwanda.
