It was another brilliant weekend for Max Verstappen in the 2022 F1 season. Till now, the Dutchman has not only picked up a dozen wins this year but also retained the F1 championship he worked for relentlessly last year. As there’s a huge celebration coming up for the win, the Red Bull star chose to keep them minimal.

Winning two championships is no easy feat, and winning that back-to-back is regarded as extraordinary, for sure. However, Max Verstappen has chosen to keep the celebration at “home.”
