Now Holland can say they have a world champion. Max Verstappen 2021 F1 World Champion 1 Verstappen NED RED BULL RACING HONDA 395.5 2 Hamilton GBR MERCEDES 387.5 3 Bottas FIN MERCEDES 226 4 Perez MEX RED BULL RACING HONDA 190 5 Sainz ESP FERRARI 164.5 6 Norris GBR MCLAREN MERCEDES 160 7 Leclerc MON FERRARI 159 8 Ricciardo AUS MCLAREN MERCEDES 115 9 Gasly FRA ALPHATAURI HONDA 110 10 Alonso ESP ALPINE RENAULT 81 I'm not a big fan of Lewis. He is the best of this era because he's in the best car. But still, I think he got screwed on this one.
