Fans were quick to react to the news. One fan wrote:

Someone else commented comparing Verstappen to his teammate Sergio Perez:

"There may be more points on offer considering there were more races, but you can’t contest his dominance in that car in 2022 especially when compared to Checo’s performance!"
