Max Verstappen has the cards in his hands to become world champion for the fourth time in a row this weekend in Las Vegas, venue for the 22nd round of the season.
Max Verstappen's victory at Interlagos three weeks ago undoubtedly put an end to the suspense surrounding the world champion title. By returning to the victory that had eluded him since June, the Dutchman pushed back Lando Norris, only sixth in Brazil, to 62 points. Three races from the end of the season, the gap is made and the question is now rather to know at which Grand Prix Verstappen will win his fourth world crown, after those of 2021, 2022 and 2023.
And there is a possibility that it will happen this weekend during the 22nd round of the world championship scheduled in Las Vegas. The Red Bull driver will be crowned regardless of his result if he finishes ahead of Lando Norris, if he wins the race or if the Briton does not do better than ninth. Due to the nine-hour time difference with Texas, this antepenultimate Grand Prix of the season can be followed very early in the morning in France.
To watch live what could be the outcome in the title race, you will have to turn on your screen at 7 a.m. Sunday morning – Saturday will not yet be over in Las Vegas since it will be 10 p.m. there. A Grand Prix at night which we hope is more spectacular than last year when, for the great return of Formula 1 to the city of all excesses, Verstappen won at the end of a damn disappointing race.
