MAX Verstappen's second-place finish in Singapore keeps him in the title fight as he closes the gap on Oscar Piastri in a thrilling Drivers' Championship battle.
(AFP)
MAX Verstappen’s second-place finish in Singapore may not have been a race victory, but it carried far more weight than just a podium.
With the chequered flag falling on a sweltering night in Marina Bay, Verstappen walked away with crucial points that have slashed the gap between himself and Oscar Piastri in the fight for the world drivers’ championship.
Piastri now leads the standings with 336 points, followed by Lando Norris on 314 and Verstappen on 273. What once looked like McLaren's title to lose is suddenly becoming Verstappen’s golden opportunity to snatch control in the closing stages of the season.
