Max Verstappen’s road to a fourth F1 world championship

After taking one of Formula 1’s big wins to claim the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is on the verge of winning the Drivers’ Championship.

The Red Bull star, who has won the previous three world championships, can win a historic fourth title in a row at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

There are three race weekends left in the F1 year, with three Grands Prix and one sprint race to end the season.

Verstappen goes into the third-to-last race weekend of the year with a 62-point lead over McLaren’s Lando Norris.

There is a maximum of 86 points that a driver can still win this season.

To earn all 86 points, a driver must win all three Grands Prix, with the fastest lap and the sprint race.

Las Vegas will only organize one Grand Prix, with a maximum of 26 points to win.

Verstappen wins the world championship if he finishes the Las Vegas Grand Prix with a 60-point lead over Norris.

Winning the Las Vegas Grand Prix would guarantee a fourth world championship.

If Norris wants to keep the title fight alive until the next weekend in Qatar, he must score three more championship points than Verstappen.

These are the results Verstappen needs to win the world championship.
