Max Verstappen was unable to seize the opportunity to win the title at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix last weekend. Largely because of the blunder committed by his team during qualifying…But he will be able to try his luck once more at Suzuka (on Honda land, engine still present in the Red Bull), in a few days. Provided that his two rivals, Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc, do not overtake him once more on the finish line. Anyway, the Dutchman remains very well on track to win this coronation with still more than 100 points in advance.
F1: Max Verstappen, Japan objective!
With 104 units ahead of Charles Leclerc and 106 over his teammate, Sergio Perez, the reigning F1 world champion should have no trouble winning a second crown. Knowing that there are still 5 Grand-Prix but 6 races in total, with the Interlagos sprint event. Behind, George Russell is now directly threatened by Carlos Sainz, following the Spaniard’s podium and the Briton’s zero points in Singapore. For his part, Lewis Hamilton can still hope to return to fourth place overall, just to save the honor once morest his teammate.
