Verstappen's journey in Formula One has seen him team up with seven different teammates so far. Starting with Carlos Sainz at Toro Rosso, where the duo had a rivalrous synergy, to Daniel Ricciardo, who initially outpaced Verstappen before his departure. Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon followed suit, with Gasly moving to AlphaTauri and Albon transitioning to Williams after a stint with Red Bull.
