No risks needed as Max has 4th title within reach
The Straits Times
|November 22, 2024
Max Verstappen will become just the sixth man in Formula One history to win four world championship titles, if he can see off his rival Lando Norris at the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend.
-
Red Bull's three-time champion, who ended a 10-race winless drought by storming to victory in Brazil three weeks ago, needs only to stay ahead of Norris, or keep the Mc Laren driver out of the top nine finishers with the fastest lap, to retain his crown.
The Dutchman, on 393 points, holds a 62-point lead over Norris with 60 more points to be won after the Vegas race.
He knows he has no need to gamble as he seeks to join multiple champions Iuan Manuel Fan-gio (five titles), Alain Prost (four), Michael Schumacher (seven), Sebastian Vettel (four) and Lewis Hamilton (seven).
After a blistering start to the season which saw him win seven of the first 10 races, Verstappen suffered a dip in form, with just four podiums in the next 10 races.
