Описание: Why F1 Voted Max Verstappen Driver of the Year Even After Losing
In 2025, Max Verstappen didn’t win the Formula 1 World Championship.
Someone else lifted the trophy. Champagne fell. History books were written.

And yet — when Formula 1 insiders voted for Driver of the Year, they chose Verstappen.

How does the champion lose the award?
And what does that say about how we measure greatness in Formula 1?

This video breaks down the most controversial F1 vote in years — why Verstappen was crowned Driver of the Year despite losing the title, how Red Bull’s flawed RB21 exposed the true value of driver contribution, and why the people who understand F1 best saw something the standings couldn’t show.

From damage limitation drives to overperforming in an underperforming car, this was the season dominance disappeared — and greatness became visible.

If you love Formula 1 analysis, F1 storytelling, Verstappen breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes paddock insight, this is the story you don’t want to miss.
