F1 2022 title permutations: How Max Verstappen can seal second championship at Singapore Grand Prix

Verstappen holds a massive 116-point lead over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2022 standings with 164 points up for grabs across the final six races of the season - including the sprint in Brazil - meaning the Red Bull driver could seal his second successive F1 world title in Singapore.
Th▨e Dutꦗchman is currently enjoying a career-best streak of five consecutive wins on his seemingly unstoppable charge towards becoming a double world champion.
Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, who is nine points further back from Leclerc, and Mercedes’168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell, who is 132 points adrift in the championship' standings, are the꧑ only other drivers still in mathematical contention - though none appear to have a realistic chance of denying Verstappen the 2022 crown. ও;
Here’s what Verstappen neꦬeds to seal💟 the deal under the lights in Singapore.
How Verstappen can win F1 2022 title in Singapore:

For Verstappen to have any chance of successfully defending his title in Singapore, he must win🦹 the race with fullꦫ 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 podium…
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 combination of conditions not being met would see Verstappen’s ꦡcelebrations put on hold. But it would only delay the inevitable temporarily, with Verstappen almost guaranteed to win this year’s championship.
Even if Leclerc were to win all the remaining races, Verstappen would only need to score 48 points to ensure he was crowned champion b⛦y the end of the season.

Verstappen’s advantage𝓡 is so large he can even afford to s🔯uffer four retirements. Alternatively, he could finish as low as sixth at every 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 histo𝓡ry the championship&n🅷bsp;has been won with five races to spare.
Only 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher (2002) and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nigel Mansell (199🐻2) have previously clinched🎶 the title so early.
Despite claiming the F1 drivers’ title a joint-record seven times, Mercedes’168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton has nevဣer wrapped up a championship w🎉ith more than three races to go.
The Japanese Grand Prix at꧂ Suzuka appears a more realistic prospect for Verstappen’s crowning glory.
