Max Verstappen is a polarising character. He arrived in Formula One with more talent than his emotional state could handle. He is the poster-boy for why there should be a minimum age limit for putting a weapon like an F1 car into someone's hands. The driver that he has become is unrecognisable as that moody and sometimes dangerous brat. He deserved his 2021 title and now, far from the end of the season, bar a major incident, he's this year's champion, too. And no matter what his detractors say, it's entirely on merit.
