It could be all over on Sunday if the Red Bull driver wins the Singapore Grand Prix and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc crumbles. Verstappen leads Leclerc by 116 points and will clinch the title if he scores 22 points more than Leclerc, his most realistic challenger. Verstappen, who turned 25 on Friday, must win to clinch a second world title, along with two other scenarios involving Leclerc. If Verstappen wins, Leclerc can finish no higher than ninth; if Verstappen wins and earns a bonus point for fastest lap, Leclerc can finish no higher than eighth. Hamilton missed out on a record F1 eighth title in a controversial finish following a chaotic late restart.
