It's only a matter of time until Max Verstappen gets his 2e consecutive world crown. Intractable, the Dutchman easily dominates the debates and no longer seems to have a rival on paper. Charles Leclerc Although he tried to beat him every week, the reigning world champion rarely lost.
Weekend after weekend, Max Verstappen amassed victories until he counted 11, which allowed him to take more than a lead in the championship. Thus, with 5 Grands Prix remaining from the end of the 2022 season, the driver Red Bull has an advance of 104 point on his runner-up Charles Leclerc. After a complicated weekend in Singapore where he finished in only seventh place, the defending champion has a second match point this weekend in Suzuka.
Verstappen closer than ever
Indeed, the Japanese Grand Prix will be the second opportunity for the son of Jos Verstappen to take the crown from his counterpart in the Team. For the competition, there are only five events left to contest and 26 points per Grand Prix to be distributed with the best lap in the race – to which must be added the 8 points from the Interlagos Sprint Race, for a total of 138 possible points.
To be titled this Sunday on Honda land, the equation is simple. In the event of victory with the bonus point for the best lap in the race, the Batavian will be titled, regardless of the results of Charles Lecler and Sergio Pérez. In all other cases, he will have to score 6 points more than his Mexican teammate and 8 more points than the Monegasque.
