Two rounds from the end of the season and on the occasion of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen has a first chance to be titled: 2021 Formula 1 world champion.
The championship leader benefits from a slight lead of 8 points against Lewis Hamilton. And to fulfill his mission this weekend, Max Verstappen will have to have a clear lead of 26 points in the championship, this Sunday after the race. The goal is therefore scored 18 points more than its rival on the urban route of Jeddah.
Here are the conditions under which Max Verstappen would be titled:
Verstappen Champion si…
- he wins the race with the fastest lap in the race (26 pts) while Hamilton does not do better than 6th (8 pts)
- he wins the race (25 pts) while Hamilton does not do better than 7th (6 or 7 points depending on the fastest lap)
- he finished 2nd with the fastest lap in the race (19 pts) while Hamilton did not do better than 10th (1 pts)
- he finished 2nd (18 pts) while Hamilton did not finish in the top 10 (no points scored)
If the contract is not fulfilled this weekend in the Red Bull clan, the award of the title will be postponed at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
