The moment Verstappen found out he was World Champion (0:30)

After being told he had won the World Driver's Championship, Max Verstappen ran off to celebrate. It was 0: 30.

4:53 AM ET

At the Japanese Grand Prix, Max Verstappen equaled his performance from the previous race to win his second straight title.

One of F1's most dominant championship wins was secured by Verstappen when he won the title.

There are only four races left to go and only two people have won the title.

After taking the checkered flag, Verstappen didn't realize he'd won the title.

Verstappen said after the race that he didn't think he'd cross the line.

Slowly, you could see it. We did win it here.

There was confusion about how many points would be awarded in a race.

When a race is red-flagged, limited points are given. Full points were awarded even though the race was red-flagged.

In the final laps, Verstappen asked Red Bull if he should change his tires for the extra point.

He didn't know if it would be half points. I didn't know how much I would get. It wasn't safe enough for an extra stop.

Verstappen won the title thanks to his teammate, who was elevated above Leclerc.

Leclerc ran wide at the final corner defending from Perez, then forced the Mexican driver wide as they raced to the finish line, earning himself a five second penalty.

After the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen's first title was shrouded in controversy, but his second looks like it will beFka.

The 12th win of the season for Verstappen was his 12th of the season, which tied the record for most wins in a season by both of them.

The Dutch driver has a chance to break the season wins record at the end of the F1 season.
