To keep his world crown in the streets of the city of gambling, the Dutchman must not give up more than two points to his British rival, while 60 points will remain to be distributed at the end of this 22nd round (out of 24) of the season.
If he succeeds, the 27-year-old Red Bull driver would join the German Sebastian Vettel and the French legend of the discipline Alain Prost on the list of winners.
The scenarios
– If Verstappen finishes ahead of Norris
– If Norris finishes second (18 points) and Verstappen finishes 3rd and takes the bonus point for fastest lap (15 points + 1 = 16 points)
– If Norris finishes third (15 points) and Verstappen finishes 4th and takes the bonus point for fastest lap (12 points + 1 = 13 points)
– If Norris finishes 4th (12 points) and Verstappen finishes 5th without the fastest lap bonus (10 points)
– If Norris finishes 5th (10 points) and Verstappen finishes 6th without the best lap bonus (8 points)
– If Norris finishes 6th (8 points) and Verstappen finishes 7th without the best lap bonus (6 points)
– If Norris finishes 7th (6 points) and Verstappen finishes 8th without the best lap bonus (4 points)
– If Norris finishes 8th (4 points) and Verstappen finishes 9th without the best lap bonus (2 points)
