Following the conclusion of the 2024 Formula 1 season this past weekend, it's clear that this year will go down as one of the most memorable in the sport's history.

After years of Red Bull's dominance and Mercedes' reign in the decade prior, fans were eager for a shake-up. Enter the 2024 season, where seven different drivers claimed race victories and all but eight of the 22 drivers managed to stand on the podium at least once.

If history is indeed written by the victors, charting the season through the lens of those who triumphed at different stages reveals just how fiercely competitive the 2024 Formula 1 campaign was.

Here we name six grand prix victories that shaped the 2024 F1 World Championship...

5. Brazilian GP: Max Verstappen

If you've been looking at the victories so far and wondering whether the era of Verstappen's dominance is over, the Brazilian GP served as a resounding reminder of why he remains the best on the grid.

His first win in 11 races, Verstappen delivered a masterclass, starting 17th and navigating the pouring rain and treacherous track conditions to claim victory. 

While Verstappen officially secured his fourth consecutive F1 World Championship title at the Las Vegas GP the following week, his Brazil win not only boosted his points tally but also delivered a clear message to silence his doubters.
