Gp Singapore, Max Verstappen champion if: the combinations- Corriere.it

Max Verstappen, Red Bull, 335 points. Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, 219 points. Sergio Perez, Red Bull, 210 points. At the moment, the podium of the general standings of F1 2022 this. AND, in the head, really unlikely to change anything: with six GPs to go (Singapore, Japan, USA, Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi are missing), the Red Bull driver seems increasingly distant from Ferrari driver Leclerc. Each weekend, therefore, could become the good one to win his second consecutive World Cup. 116 points of advantage over the direct competitorat this point, they are an infinity, an insurmountable mountain – also – due to the many, too many mistakes made by the Ferrari team during the current season.

But the combination that would allow Verstappen to triumph is already quite remote in Singapore, because the Dutch driver should first of all win by signing the fastest lap of the race, then hope that Perez does not place himself in a position above the fifth and, finally, that Leclerc closes his race from 8 seat in gi. Should the other Toro Rosso, Perez, sign the fastest lap, Verstappen would have to win, hope that his Mexican teammate does not exceed 6th place and Leclerc is placed from tenth position down. In short, a series of combinations that are unlikely to materialize, as Verstappen himself says: That this is all a bit unrealistic – commented the Dutch driver -, I just want to enjoy the weekend. And, of course, try to win. I think that winning the World Championship in Japan, at Honda, would be better. S – he concludes – I believe that the first opportunity will be in Japan.
