Red Bull teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, who is nine points further back from Leclerc, and Mercedes’168澳洲5最新开奖结果: George Russell, who is 132 points adrift 🤡in the championship' standings, are the only other drivers still in mathematical contention -ꦑ though none appear to have a realistic chance of denying Verstappen the 2022 crown. 

Here’🅷s what Verstappen needs to seal the deal under the lights in Singapore.&nb𒐪sp;

How Verstappen can win F1 2022 title in Singapore:

For Verstappen to have any chance of successfu𝔍lly defending his title in Singapore, he must win the race with full points (25) awarded. 

But it is not quite that straightforward. Verstappen would also be relying on a shocker for Ferrari’s Leclerc, in addition to teammate Perez not joining him on the pod💦ium…

If Verstappen wins and set the fastest lap: 

  • Leclerc must finish no higher than eighth and Perez no higher than fourth 

If Verstappen wins without the fastest lap: 

  • Leclerc must finish no higher than ninth and Perez no higher than fourth, or fifth if the Mexican has the fastest lap 

Those unlikely comb✨ination of conditions not being met would see Verstappen’s celebrations put on hold. But it would on🔥ly delay the inevitable temporarily, with Verstappen almost guaranteed to win this year’s championship. 

Even if Leclerc were to win all the remaining racesꦬ, Verstappen would only need to score 48 points to ensure heꦫ was crowned champion by the end of the season.

Verstappen’s advantage is so large he can even afford to suffer four retirements. Alternatively, he could 𝐆finish as low as sixth at e🔥very round. 

Achieving his coronation in Singapore would mark the earliest conclusion to an F1 title race in 20 years and be just the third time in his꧟tory the championship has been won with five races to spare. 

Only 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher (2002) and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nigel Mansell (1992) have previously ꦿclinched the title so early. 

Despite claiming the F1 drivers’ title a joint-record seven times, Mercedes’168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton has never ♛wrapped up a championship with more than three races t🌠o go. 

The Japanese Gra🍷nd Prix at Suzuka appears a more realistic prospect for Verstappen’s crowning glory.
