Expected for several weeks, the second title of world champion of Max Verstappen obtained at Suzuka last weekend somewhat ended the season of F1. However, not everything is decided at the end of the year when Red Bull has yet another coronation to seek: that of the Builders.

Red Bull champion in Austin if…

Currently, Christian Horner and his gang have a 165-point lead over Scuderia Ferrari with only 191 remaining in the game. A gap that has continued to grow throughout the season. thanks to, or because of, concerns about the reliability of manufacturing machines Maranello which cost a lot of money Charles Leclerc et Carlos Sainz.

So, with four Grands Prix remaining, Red Bull has the opportunity to kill the suspense for good. To defeat Ferrari among the Manufacturers after having done so with Max Verstappen among the Drivers, the Austrian team must not concede 19 points or more on the Reds during the United States Grand Prix  (October 21-23). She would thus pocket her first title in this category since 2013, year of the 4e and last consecutive double with Sebastian Vettel. If Max Verstappen or Sergio Pérez manage to win with the best lap in the race or finish ahead of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, Ferrari's hopes will be dashed even if this has already been the case for several weeks...
