However, one F1 fan has gained attention online after accurately predicting the last FOUR world championship winners – and his forecasts for the upcoming seasons through 2030 are included in the same post.

The supporter made these bold predictions on X back in 2022 and has been correct every time since.

Initially, he forecasted three consecutive victories for Verstappen.

This season, he changed his pick to Norris – another accurate choice.

So, what’s the smart bet for 2026?

If this fan's predictions hold true, Norris will be celebrating back-to-back championships and establishing dominance in the sport.

Why does he believe this?

He has also selected Norris for 2027 and 2028 – aiming for FOUR consecutive wins – before a brief interruption in 2029 for Piastri.

However, a comeback is expected in 2030, making Lando a five-time champion according to this fan's outlook.

I’m sure Norris himself would gladly accept such a fairytale scenario.

Nevertheless, for now, the Brit will continue celebrating his first championship win.

The 26-year-old is the 11th British driver to secure the championship and the first since 2020.

While Verstappen has dominated with four consecutive wins, it is now Norris's time to revel in the champion's glory.

After finishing third in Abu Dhabi, marking his maiden Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship, he stated: "It’s incredible. It feels surreal, you know?"

“I’ve dreamed of this for a long, long time. Everyone does.”

“A lot goes into a season like this, with many ups and downs.”

“But, none of that matters as long as you strive to come out on top, and that’s what we have managed to do.”

“I did it with an incredible team, including Will J, Jarvis, and all the amazing boys and girls I’ve shared so many moments with.”

“This achievement isn’t just about this year; it’s been a journey over the last seven or eight years with McLaren, and 16 to 17 years of my life pursuing this dream. Today, we all achieved it, so I’m really happy.”
