The Red Bull driver heads into the new campaign bidding to win his third F1 world title off the back of his controversial triumph over 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton in 2021 and dominant ru💞n to a second crown last ye🐬ar. 

If Verstappen were to go on to become a three-time world champion in 2023, he would be just the fifth F1 driver in history to win three world titles on ꦏthe bounce. 

Verstappen would also become just the 11th driver in F1 history 🍨to win three or more world championships. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Juan Manuel Fangio, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel and Ha🤡milton are the only other F1 drivers to acquire three consecutiv♕e championships. 

Fangio was the first to do so when he w🐼on four of his five titles in a row between 1954 and 1957. 

It took nearly 50 years for the achievement to be repeated by Schumacher, who set a new benchmark with five straight title successes inꦍ 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. 

Next to join the club was Vettel, who matched Fangio in winning four co🅰nsecutive world title🐭s between 2010 and 2013.

The most recent driver was Hami꧟lton, who won foꦕur of his seven world championships in a row until Verstappen ended his streak in 2021. 

Asked about the prospect of becoming the fifth member of the illustrious clubꦛ, Verstappen said: “We work hard as a team to try an🧜d make sure we have a chance to fight for it again.

“But only time will tell. I’m not even thinking about 𝕴these things at the moment. 

“It’s more important that we just focus on having a competitive car and then if we have a competitive car, theseꦇ things can happen. We have to make sure the car is running well, has no ▨issues, and is quick!”
