The other was in 2010, when a Red Bull driver who had not led the championship all season leapfrogged his rivals on the final day to snatch the glory. Make no mistake, Verstappen is out to repeat Sebastian Vettel’s accomplishment again.

A late-season surge, helped by huge McLaren blunders in Las Vegas and Qatar, has remarkably put the Dutchman back into contention.

Only three months ago, he was 104 points off the lead and had cancelled any tentative title celebration plans that had been put in place.
