The results of the latest fan poll reveal overwhelming support for Max Verstappen to clinch second place in the Formula 1 drivers' championship. A staggering majority of 80.8 percent of voters backed the Dutch standout to successfully complete a remarkable mid-season revival with Red Bull Racing.
This massive momentum stems from a phenomenal run of consistency following his early retirement in Monaco. Over the course of the subsequent 14 rounds, the reigning world champion has impressively claimed 11 podium finishes and a fourth place, steering the Milton Keynes squad back to the sharp end of the grid during their maiden campaign utilizing their in-house power unit.
Key milestones in this resurgence included a historic pole position and race victory for the new engine at Sepang, followed by a dominant masterclass at the Marina Bay Street Circuit which featured a stellar Sprint race triumph. Another commanding victory in Mexico City propelled him firmly into the runner-up spot in the overall standings.
With only three Grand Prix weekends remaining in the 2026 season, a five-way battle for second place is intensifying behind newly crowned champion Kimi Antonelli. Despite the tight mathematical margins among contenders in the points table, no other rival managed to capture more than a fraction of the polling share, highlighting absolute fan confidence in the Red Bull ace.
As the motorsport world prepares for the final showdowns of the year, the pressure remains high across the paddock. The intense scrap for championship supremacy and runner-up honors promises high-octane drama as the season heads toward its thrilling conclusion.
