Max Verstappen has not failed to disappoint us this season. Individually, the young sensation has racked up an amazing and respectable tally of 49 points heading into the final round at Abu Dhabi. This is nearly 3 times the point tally of his team mate, Carlos Sainz Jr. Single-handedly, Max has more points than the total constructor points Toro Rosso have ever achieved in their history. He has had a strong second half to the season, with six consecutive finishes in the points, starting from Singapore and is still on with his 9th place finish in Brazil. And since Round 10 at Hungary Britain, he has finished all the races and with the exception of the Italian Grand Prix, all in the points. These include his best finishes of 4th, at Hungary and Austin. New F1 Car [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Verstappen-300x169.jpeg]Max Verstappen His early season performances showed the youngster had the pace and talent, although it required massive fine tuning. He was able to qualify in the top 10, or somewhere around 12-13 on the grid. With his recent form however, he has been consistently qualifying and finishing in the top 10. The exception was Japan, among his last six races, where he started 17th, but was still able to fight up the field, to get a 9th place finish. Once again at Brazil, he showcased his talent to the world, fighting up into the points, for a 10th place finish (before advancing to 9th as Massa was disqualified). As he has finished all the races, he’s not only improved as a driver, but the frequent reliability issues that plagued Renault also seem to be behind them. Max Verstappen has also shown he has the ability to manage his tyres well. At the Austin Grand Prix, he managed to last for nearly 17 laps of the race with softer compound tyres , and despite the wear on them, he was able to comfortably finish 4th. Max at Austin [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Max-at-Austin-300x169.jpg]https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Max-at-Austin.jpg These skills, with further refining going ahead, are going to benefit him in the future. He still has a few years to hone his skills and it would be surprising to not see him in a top team’s car within a few years. A challenge, to Max if he can: Secure at least 6 points during the final race of the season, to finish the 2015 season with 55 points or more. 

How has Max Verstappen fared and developed over the course of his debut F1

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brazilian Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits</h2>
Interlagos. The home of the Brazilian Grand Prix. A circuit where dreams have been lived. A circuit where dreams have died. A circuit that?s seen so much history over the years that it?s become an indispensable part of the Formula 1 calendar. After officially joining the calendar in 1973, Interlagos?or the Aut?dromo Jos? Carlos Pace?has played host to the Brazilian GP every year except in 1978 and from 1981 to 1989.?

[caption id="attachment_826742" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-826742 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-14T171533Z_111717478_UP1EHBE1BXWPO_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-BRAZIL.jpg" alt="F1 race start at Brazilian GP" width="1920" height="1060" /> Formula One F1 - Brazilian Grand Prix - Jose Carlos Pace Circuit, Sao Paulo, Brazil - November 14, 2021 Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas at the start of the race REUTERS/Ricardo Moraes[/caption]

Over the years, it?s been the scene of the culmination of epic title fights, making it a race that everyone anticipated even more than usual. Well, that was until the Abu Dhabi GP joined the calendar in 2009. Since then?bar the three seasons of 2011, 2012, and 2013?the Brazilian GP has been the season's penultimate race. While everyone in the F1 community would love for it to return to its original calendar spot, this year will be even more different.

Scheduled from November 3rd to 5th, it?s Round 21 on the calendar. Instead of being the usual penultimate race of the season, it?s now the third-last race of 2023. Before 2023, the Brazilian GP usually featured a week or two after the US and Mexican GP. To accommodate a newly added Las Vegas GP, F1?s trip to Interlagos, Sao Paulo, has been preponed. Be that as it may, the circuit, in all its glory, is set to deliver like it always does.?

There have been some truly memorable moments in Interlagos over the years. Home hero Ayrton Senna?s first win on home soil in 1991 would be almost every Brazilian fan?s highlight. To make the feat even more remarkable, he did it while stuck in sixth gear for more than 10 laps. Oh, and who can forget the title deciders that have happened here? In 2007, Kimi Raikkonen entered the race third in the championship behind McLaren?s Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Out of all three contenders, Raikkonen was tipped to be the least likely to win. But against all odds, proving his Iceman-ness, he won the race and, with it, the championship.

?Is that Glock? Is that Glock going slowly?? A Martin Brindle commentary that will go down in history as something that?ll haunt Felipe Massa (until he claims the 2008 title, if he does, following his lawsuit against the FIA). The then-Ferrari driver crossed the line in P1, and for half a minute or so, he and his team were ecstatic. Hamilton needed anything better than a P6 to seal the title. Had it not been for Timo Glock struggling through the damo condition in slick tires, the title would?ve been Massa?s. But it was Hamilton?s day as he overtook Glock to take P5 and, ultimately, his maiden championship.

As thrilling as the title fights have been, so have the non-title fights. The 2021 Brazilian GP saw Hamilton make a comeback after receiving 25 places worth of penalties. He started the Sprint in P20 and finished fifth. He started the race in P10 and finished P1. It?s now the most special race of the honourary Brazilian?s career. A year later, his teammate George Russell got his first win at the circuit.

Last time out, in the ever-changing weather conditions in Sao Paulo, Haas? Kevin Magnussen secured a shock pole position, setting a time of 1:11.674. Neither the Sprint nor the race worked in the Dane?s favor, though. Even so, it was a monumental achievement in a Haas car. Interlagos always springs up a surprise, and F1 2023 is ready for the exciting action that awaits in Brazil!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Most Winners</h2>
Back in the day, the FIA required a new venue to host a demonstration race as a quality check. The 1972 Brazilian GP was Interlagos? inaugural race (although it wasn?t counted as part of the championship). In its official introduction in 1973, Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi treated the crowd to a home victory. It then spent six glorious years on the calendar until 1981, when Jacarepagu?, Rio de Janeiro, became the race's home (as it did in 1978 as well). But F1 returned to Sao Paulo in 1990; since then, it hasn?t left the calendar.

Frenchman Alain Prost is the most successful driver to race in the Brazilian GP. Having amassed a staggering six Brazilian GP wins, he should ideally be the F1 king of Brazil. But considering five of his wins came at Jacarepagu? and the fact that Interlagos is the real home of the race, someone else pips him to the title.

The most successful driver in Interlagos is Michael Schumacher, who?s won at the circuit four times!

<h2 style="text-align: center">Past Constructors Winners</h2>
Alain Prost won the Brazilian GP with three teams?Renault (1982), Ferrari (1990), and the rest with McLaren. Apart from his four wins for McLaren, the British team has seen Ayrton Senna (2), Emerson Fittipaldi (1), Mika Hakkinen (2), David Coulthard (1), Juan Pablo Montoya (1), and Jenson Button (1) win. With 12 victories at the Brazilian GP, McLaren is the most successful constructor in the South American nation.

Adding to Prost?s singular win for Ferrari, Niki Lauda (1), Carlos Reuttemann (2), Nigel Mansell (1), Michael Schumacher (2), Felipe Massa (2), Kimi Raikkonen (1), and Sebastian Vettel (1) make Ferrari the second most successful in Brazil.

Since 2012, though, Mercedes has won the most Brazilian GPs?6 out of 10.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brazilian Grand Prix Circuit Details?</h2>
What makes Aut?dromo Jos? Carlos Pace one of the greatest circuits of all time? It?s one of the last remaining old-school tracks on the calendar. Made in the 1930s, Interlagos was constructed in undulating terrain on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. Situated between two reservoirs, that?s where the name comes from. As for its official name, Jos? Carlos Pace was a Brazilian driver who won his only race at Interlagos. The circuit was named in his honor after tragically passing away in 1977 in a plane crash.

Coming back to why every driver and fan alike loves the circuit. Over the years, the circuit has had to evolve for safety reasons. Even so, it hasn?t lost its charm and character that everyone fell in love with before the big renovations. Initially, the track was almost 8 kilometers long, but after the safety reforms, when F1 shifted to Jacarepagu? for nine seasons, it was shortened to 4.3km (2.6 miles). Since 1990, when F1 returned to Interlagos, it?s stayed the same.

Before 1990, Interlagos was a clockwise track, a layout that drivers are more accustomed to. But after 1990, it became a counter-clockwise circuit, making the short circuit?where time to rest is almost nonexistent?even more challenging. As much as it is a challenge, it?s also a pleasure to drive. The pit straight has an upward incline that transitions into the iconic Senna S (Turns 1 and 2). The longest straight of the track (the Reta Oposta) is between Turns 3 and 4 (Descida do Lago). As a driver closes in to Turn 6, that?s where the trickiest part of the circuit starts. A series of slow-speed corners, Turns 6 and 7 lead into one the most difficult corners on the track?Turn 8 (Little Orange). The slow-speed section continues till the left-handed Turn 11, after which a short straight leads into a hard left. Turn 12 to 15 is usually done at full throttle, following which the trip through the dramatic elevation changes of Interlagos starts again.

To add to the dramatics of the track, the weather conditions are quite unpredictable. Through the years, the changing conditions have made for exciting sessions like qualifying in 2022, which saw Magnussen take pole. Back at the Singapore GP, when Verstappen qualified in P11, he said Marina Bay isn?t a track where overtaking is possible. He did say Spa-Francorchamps is a circuit where he could win from the back of the grid. Well, Interlagos is like that, too! Lewis Hamilton demonstrated how fighting through the field in 2021 is possible.

The best place to watch the race? The Grandstand at the banked Turn 15 is a lovely place to watch cars go through the twisty second sector and accelerate through the final corners. The Grandstand at Turn 1 overlooks the Senna S?the best overtaking spot on the track. This year, just like 2021 and 2022, is also a Sprint weekend. The new format changes mean twice the qualifying sessions and twice the racing action. So, wherever you decide to tune in from or experience the electric atmosphere live, the Brazilian GP will be one to watch!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Where to watch?</h2>
In the US, all F1 races this season will be broadcast live on TV by ESPNews, ESPN2, ESPN+, or ABC.?

If you?re tuning in from The Netherlands, hoping for a repeat of 2019 for Max Verstappen, Viaplay and Viaplay Xtra will stream all the live action. If you?re not one of the spectators and Intergalos and want to catch all the live action from the comfort of your home, Bandeirantes and Bandsports will keep you company. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports and Channel 4 will keep you updated. Sky Sports? Italian and German divisions, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, are in charge in Italy and Germany. France can catch all the action on Canal+, Austria on Servus TV, Africa on SuperSport, and Canada on RDS.

In India (and everywhere else), F1TV will provide all the live-action, analysis, and Tech Talks.?

<h2 style="text-align: center">US Grand Prix - 2023 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
The 2007 United States Grand Prix would be the last US GP ever to feature on a Formula 1 calendar. At least that?s what the then F1 owner Bernie Ecclestone wanted. From 2009?when Ecclestone expressed how there?s no hurry to return to the US?F1 has been taken over by American conglomerate Liberty Media, and the 2023 calendar features three races in the States. F1 has come a long way. Over the years, F1 has hosted the US GP in 10 different locations. But the most popular and loved one has been the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.

The Circuit of The Americas, commonly referred to as COTA became the home of the US GP in 2012. Since then, it?s found a way into not just every F1 calendar year (except 2020) but also every driver?s heart. COTA is a circuit they love, and Austin is a city they love. And if there?s one driver who truly embraces the Austin spirit every time they visit COTA, it?s <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a>. The Aussie fractured his left hand earlier this season at the Dutch GP. Recovering since then, Ricciardo is set to make his F1 return at COTA. So, stay on the lookout for another cowboy appearance this year.

Scheduled from 20th to 22nd October this season, it?s Round 19 on the calendar. With Red Bull and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a> having sealed the Constructors? and Drivers? Championship already, it might seem like the results of the race won?t account for anything. Well, the fight for P2 in the Constructors? Championship between Mercedes and Ferrari is still on. And the battle between Aston Martin and McLaren for P4 is set to continue. Mercedes? <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will also look to further close the gap to Red Bull?s Sergio Perez in P2 in the Drivers? Championship. Needless to say, there?s a lot to play for.

Last time out, Ferrari?s Carlos Sainz set the fastest lap in qualifying with a 1:34:356 and took pole position. Despite that, Verstappen?who qualified P3 but started P2?overtook Sainz off the line and ultimately took his 13th victory of the season. Following his Qatar GP win?where he also sealed his third title?the Dutchman will look to secure his 15th win of 2023 at COTA. That will equal his 2022 record of 15 wins in a season.?

Apart from the exciting F1 action, the US GP weekend will also feature the all-female F1 Academy?s inaugural championship finale. To add to the COTA excitement, The Killers are set to take the stage on Friday night, followed by Queen+Adam Lamber on Saturday. Grammy-winning Dutch DJ and producer Ti?sto will cap off the weekend with a post-race performance.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Most Winners</h2>
The US GP was officially introduced into the F1 calendar in 1959. Since then, it?s been held at Sebring, Riverside, Watkins Glen, Phoenix, Indianapolis, and now Austin. Although the US GP has seen legendary drivers like Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> take victories, there?s one undisputed king of the race. That?s Lewis Hamilton. The British driver has won the race a record six times and is the only driver to have taken victory at two venues?the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and COTA.

Considering only COTA, Hamilton also has the best qualifying record. In the 10 editions of the race so far, the seven-time champion has secured three pole positions and four P2 starts.?

<h2>Past Constructors Winners</h2>
Lewis Hamilton may be the most successful driver to have competed in the US GP, but his team isn?t the most successful constructor. Adding to the four wins he?s contributed to Mercedes, the Brackley outfit has only won one other edition of the race. It was with Valtteri Bottas in 2019.

Ferrari?s last US GP win came in 2018, thanks to Kimi Raikkonen. Michael Schumacher?s five wins to add to Rubens Barrichello, Gilles Villeneuve, Carlos Reutemann, and Niki Lauda?s singular victories make Ferrari the most successful constructor.?

Considering only COTA, Mercedes has five wins, Red Bull has three, and McLaren and Ferrari have one each.

<h2>US Grand Prix Circuit Details?</h2>
What makes COTA a driver-favorite track? When you think of tracks that feel like they were made for real racing, you?d most likely think of old-school tracks like Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, and Suzuka. Oh, how lovely would it be to have a track that combined all the best parts of these circuits? Guess what? That?s precisely what the Circuit of The Americas is. The 20-corner 5.5 km (3.4 miles) circuit is largely inspired by iconic tracks, making it as close as a modern-day track could come to perfection.?

[caption id="attachment_1989069" align="aligncenter" width="1600"]<img class="wp-image-1989069 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/United-States-GP.jpg" alt="United States GP" width="1600" height="1066" /> Formula 1 2022: United States GP CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - OCTOBER 23: Carlos Sainz, Ferrari F1-75, leads Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB18, Sir Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes W13, and George Russell, Mercedes W13 during the United States GP at Circuit of the Americas on Sunday October 23, 2022 in Austin, United States of America.

Turn 1 is one of the best on the calendar. It?s named ?Big Red? after the circuit?s biggest investor, Texan business Red McCombs. The elevation change from the start-finish line to Turn 1 is a 133ft incline?a blind left turn. It makes for excellent overtaking opportunities, as Verstappen demonstrated on Lap 1 in 2022. Turn 2 is similar to Spa?s Pouhon?a tricky downhill right-hander. Turns 3 to 9 are like the iconic Suzuka esses and the Maggots-Becketts-Chapel section of Silverstone. The second sector is a lot like the first half of Red Bull Ring, while the third sector has a lower-speed complex similar to Hockenheim's.

The best location to watch the race? Everywhere! It?s a track that provides exciting action on every corner. If you want to be on the lookout for overtaking opportunities, Turns 1, 11, and 12 would be suitable vantage points. Also, 2023 is set to have twice the racing action! After F1 increased Sprint races from three to six this year, it chose COTA as one of the six venues. So, this year?s US GP will have double the qualifying sessions and double the racing excitement!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Where to watch?</h2>
In the US, all F1 races this season will be broadcast live on TV by ESPNews, ESPN2, ESPN+, or ABC.?

If you?re tuning in from The Netherlands to watch Max Verstappen go for his 15th win of the season, Viaplay and Viaplay Xtra will stream all the live action. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports and Channel 4 will keep you updated. Sky Sports? Italian and German channels, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, are in charge in Italy and Germany. France can catch all the action on Canal+, Austria on Servus TV, Africa on SuperSport, and Canada on RDS.

In India (and everywhere else), F1TV will provide all the live-action, analysis, and Tech Talks.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">US Grand Prix Tickets</h2>
Tickets for the US GP are available on <a href="https://tickets.formula1.com/en/f1-3320-united-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Official Formula 1 website</a> as well as on <a href="https://circuitoftheamericas.com/event/f1/tickets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Circuit of the Americas website</a>. You can choose from a range of tickets, varying from Grounds Passes and Reserved Seats to Premium Hospitality.?

If you?re in the US and have a Costco membership, you can get your hands on a US GP ticket for just $350. As part of your experience, the $350 ticket would grant you a 3-day Grounds Pass. That would mean you can view on-track action from any of the grassy areas around the circuit, just not from the grandstands or bleachers.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partnering <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified.

He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Fernando Alonso,</a> <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.out-of-this-world-verstappen-on-same-level-as-schumacher-and-alonso-says.6BLkA9yf5x1Qy1rHLyRQPW.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled</a> <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-verstappen-is-the-best-driver-in-f1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid</a>.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: Personal life</h2>
Max Verstappen's father - Jos Verstappen was an F1 driver who currently manages him. Jos' F1 career wasn't quite as successful as his son's. His mother's name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen's sister, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.instagram.com/victoriaverstappen/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victoria</a>, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line.

Verstappen was in a relationship with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/8531890/max-verstappen-girlfriend-dilara-sanlik-f1-red-bull/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dilara Sanlik</a>. As of 2024, Max Verstappen is in a relationship with Kelly Piquet. The latter even showed up at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, where Verstappen won his second F1 race of the season. She was standing amongst the Red Bull crew during the podium celebrations. Following the nerve-wracking 2021 season, Verstappen and Piquet spent their Christmas and New Year with the Piquet family in Brazil. Kelly is the daughter of 3-time champion Nelson Piquet.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen's Stats and On-track Achievements</h2>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers' Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen's most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers' titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: New racing number</h2>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.

Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn't want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.
