Max Verstappen explains why he needs the 'perfect weekend' at the JapaneseGP in order to clinch his second F1 world title Full story ⬇️
Max Verstappen thinks he will need a"perfect weekend" at Formula 1’s Japanese Grand Prix if he is going to clinch his second world title.The Red Bull driver heads into Suzuka with a 104-points advantage over closest rival Charles Leclerc, with Sergio Perez a further two-points back. He needs to finish the race 112 points clear of both to be assured of the title this weekend.
But if he wins the race and does not take fastest lap, and Leclerc finishes second, then the championship will go on to the next race in the United States. Asked about what it would mean to take the crown in Japan, Verstappen said: “It would make it a little extra special, because of our relationship with Honda.
Verstappen’s reference to a perfect weekend comes after a difficult Singapore outing where the Dutchman and his team threw away the chance to wrap up the title there.
