Lewis hatte zu Beginn der Saison die F\u00fchrung \u00fcbernommen, doch Max verringerte den Abstand und \u00fcberholte Lewis mit sechs Siegen in neun Rennen zwischen Mai und September. Lewis erholte sich jedoch und gewann die vorletzten drei Rennen der Saison.\nObwohl Lewis die meiste Zeit des Sonntagsrennens in F\u00fchrung lag, konnte Max aufgrund einer Safety-Car-Phase in den letzten Runden auf frischere Reifen wechseln und Lewis in der letzten Runde der Saison \u00fcberholen.\n\"Es ist einfach verr\u00fcckt. Als ich klein war, war es mein Ziel, F1-Fahrer zu werden, und man hofft auf Siege und Podiumspl\u00e4tze. Wenn du die Nationalhymne h\u00f6rst, hoffst du, dass sie eines Tages auch deine spielen werden. Wenn du hier stehst und sie dir sagen, dass du Weltmeister bist, ist das unglaublich\", sagte Max nach dem Rennen zu Reportern.\n\"Lewis ist ein gro\u00dfartiger Fahrer und ein gro\u00dfartiger Wettk\u00e4mpfer. Sie haben es uns wirklich sehr, sehr schwer gemacht\", f\u00fcgte er hinzu. \"Es h\u00e4tte so oder so ausgehen k\u00f6nnen, aber n\u00e4chstes Jahr kommen wir zur\u00fcck und versuchen es noch einmal.\"\nF\u00fcr PUMA war 2021 ein weiteres erfolgreiches Jahr, in dem die drei von PUMA gesponserten Teams, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1, Red Bull Racing Honda und Scuderia Ferrari, die ersten drei Pl\u00e4tze in der Konstrukteurswertung belegten.\nVon uns allen bei PUMA: Herzlichen Gl\u00fcckwunsch Max!\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiesen Beitrag auf Instagram anzeigen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nEin Beitrag geteilt von PUMA (@puma)","status":"publish","password":"","name":"Max Verstappen gewinnt nach spannendem Rennen seine erste Formel-1-Fahrermeisterschaft","modified":"2025-09-19 14:46:40","modified_gmt":"2025-09-19 14:46:40","content_filtered":"","parent":0,"type":"post","mime_type":"","template":"","category":[18],"datetime_local":"12.
