As Max Verstappen<\/a> recounted his sensational victory at the 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix, he branded the wet-weather performance as one of the best drives of his Formula 1 career so far.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman put on a wet-weather masterclass after a frustrating qualifying session left him lining up on the grid in P17. “A bit of bad luck in qualifying, which meant that I had to start quite far back,” he said during a YouTube\u00a0video for F1<\/a>, reacting to 10 races from his 10 years at Red Bull.<\/p>\n

“Plus, the little penalty that we had for I don’t even know what we changed, but we did change something, so we had to slide even further back.”<\/p>\n

Despite the disappointing starting position, the rainfall presented exactly the sort of conditions the Red Bull driver excels in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Wet race. I like wet races, but it was just super chaotic when it’s a wet race, especially around Sao Paulo,” Verstappen continued. “But I also knew that I had to make my way forward for the championship.”<\/p>\n

Verstappen began to make his way back through the grid before the race was red-flagged due to the conditions. This played perfectly into his strategy.<\/p>\n

“Lap after lap, we’re moving forward. The rain was coming down again. So, it was making it very difficult to drive to a point where there was a red flag because it was getting quite dangerous,” the 28-year-old said.<\/p>\n

“With the red flag, it really gave us an opportunity to win that race. Definitely one of my best races, I think ever, and especially when it was needed for the championship. So, really good memories.”<\/p>\n

Verstappen went on to clinch his fourth drivers’ championship in 2024, finishing the season with 437 points, 63 points over McLaren’s Lando Norris<\/a> in second.<\/p>\n
