The Dutch driver has won 10 out of 12 races so far this season and is currently on an eight-race winning streak. He has taken care of any possible title challenge that his teammate Sergio Perez presented at the start of the season.

The two-time world champion is currently 125 points ahead of his teammate and nearest challenger and is firmly on course to winning his third title in a row.

While speaking with F1.com, Max Verstappen said of his dominance:

“It’s better than we expected it to be, so yeah, it’s really enjoyable. I’m just enjoying the moment, having a good time. But it doesn’t come easy. That actually doesn’t make it boring."
"That’s why I’m here. I want to be here. I want to win. To be upfront. It’s what makes it a lot more enjoyable to come to a race weekend. Knowing that you can’t win, you have no chance – that’s boring for me. This is the opposite.”

F1 fans took to social media to give their reactions to his comments, with one fan claiming that the Dutchman was binging American TV sitcom 'Friends' while driving the Red Bull, writing:

"How could he ever be bored up front? RedBull just installed Netflix on his wheel so he can binge Friends."
