One charity is set to become $250,000 richer should anyone other than Max Verstappen win the F1 2024 World Championship.
And while that seemed like a very unlikely prospect earlier in the season, McLaren’s Lando Norris has a huge opportunity ahead to upset the odds and ensure a massive injection of funds for one lucky charity of his choosing.

That is because Jeff Dodds, CEO of the all-electric Formula E series, has promised to donate $250,000 to the chosen charity of a driver that beats Verstappen to the crown.
Formula E is broadcast on TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland, and during an interview with the broadcaster, which took place before F1 2024 began, Dodds declared of Verstappen’s title chances: “99 per cent he gets that trophy.
“I’ll tell you what, so if he doesn’t win it, there are 19 other drivers, if any one of the other 19 drivers win it, we’ll give a quarter of a million dollars to the charity of choice of the driver that does win it.
