After winning the 14th race of the season on Sunday, which coincided with the Grand Prix of Mexico, Dutch world champion Max Versaben of the Red Bull team broke the record for the most victories by a single driver in a season.
Versapan got off to a strong start when the race got underway from the first starting position, evading early pressure from the British Mercedes team of George Russell and Luis Hamilton.
He won the championship without any issues after that, and only briefly lost it when he stopped at the maintenance facility to get new tyres.
Versaben stood on the same platform in Mexico as Red Ball teammate Sergio Perez and seven-time world winner Lewis Hamilton.
The German Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel had the record in terms of the number of times winning races in one season as they had 13 victories.
Versaben was crowned the world title for the second time in a row in the Japan Grand Prix on October 9, while his team crowned the title of the Category of Manufacturers in the American Grand Prix race last week.
On November 13, Brazil will host the next Formula One event.
Versaben wins the Formula 1 race in Mexico to claim the championship and surpass another record.
