How Verstappen can win the Formula 1 title in Singapore
The next Formula One GP in Singapore (October 2) is Max Verstappen’s first match point of the year for his second consecutive World Championship – and we look at the scenarios that could happen in the Asian port.
With the Red Bull RB18 and the Dutchman himself dominating the last four GPs of the year, Verstappen has extended his lead at the top of the championship to 116 points over Ferrari’s Charles Lequer – and that with six races to go this season.
The first of these six is the Singapore GP on October 2nd. If the Dutchman achieves his sixth and this year his twelfth win in a row, the 24-year-old could mathematically secure this year’s title in a row.
Both Verstappen’s RBR counterpart Sergio Perez (-125 points) and Mercedes’ George Russell (-132 points) have mathematical – and only – hopes for the championship.
In each GP, victory is worth 25 points, fastest race lap is worth 1 point and victory in the sprint race is worth 8 points. There is only one of the three sprint races left this year, the Interlagos GP in Brazil.
Simply put and without much math, Verstappen will secure the championship at Marina Bay in Singapore if he wins 22 points more than Leclerc, 13 more than Perez and 6 more than Russell.
Consequently, to win the title, Verstappen must necessarily win in Singapore. But that’s not enough: Leclerc has to be in trouble and finish ninth or further down or drop out. At the same time, Perez must finish in 4th or lower without setting the fastest lap.
In that case, Verstappen will be 139 points clear of Leclerc, leaving a total of 138 points if one dominates by winning all five GPs, setting the five fastest laps and also winning the Interlago sprint race.
If Verstappen wins in Singapore and also sets the fastest lap then he has the luxury of being champion even if Leclerc finishes 8th or lower. Again, Perez should of course finish 4th or lower.
Consequently, the scenario of Verstappen securing this year’s championship in the next race, the Japanese GP, seems much more likely. To do this, the Dutchman must be 112 points ahead of the second-placed after the race in Suzuka.
And this will be a very fortunate time for Japan’s Honda and for its partnership with Red Bull Racing in supplying engines. Especially when combined with RBR’s winning the Constructors’ title at Sukuka – which, mathematically speaking, isn’t particularly likely to end up in the Land of the Rising Sun.

A king was born on Boxing Day: Amorim’s United fielded four defenders for the first time
There was only one Premier League game, held on Friday December 26th, the traditional Boxing Day, but it was a very good match for Manchester United fans who have experienced so much disappointment of late. A 1-0 win against Newcastle was a relief for the Old Trafford side.
But it was more than that. Ruben Amorim, unwilling to change his philosophy despite his poor results, played with four players in defense for the first time at United.
United have changed in other ways as well. They won with a possession rate of 33.4%, the lowest of any Red Devils team this season. This was also the lowest since January 2023, when they scored 29.4 per cent in the win over Manchester City. And United had nine shots on goal compared to 16 for the Magpies.
Patrick Dorg’s first goal as a Manchester United player and his second “clean sheet” of the season opened the door to an unpretty but essential victory for Amorim’s side. Amorim admitted it was one of his “most satisfying” wins since taking charge of United. “We are suffering together. If we always have this spirit, we will win many games,” added the Portuguese coach. And all this happened without United football’s most influential player, Bruno Fernandes, missing out due to injury. Amorim replaced the Portuguese midfielder with Uruguayan Manuel Ugarte.
