Why Verstappen finally became world champion

Max Verstappen declared Formula 1 World Champion this Sundayeven though he thought he hadn’t made it after crossing the finish line.

“It would have been great to win the championship here, but we have a big chance at the next race‘, he pointed out as he got out of the car. A penalty was then announced for Leclerc, who had crossed the finish line in 2nd place, leaving him in 3rd behind ‘Czech’ Perez.

“I think Charles got a five-second penalty, so… Max, maybe they changed things for you,” Max said in an interview. “come back herePenalties after the incident with Sergio, you are the world champion‘ the interviewer told him.

He laughed, he didn’t seem to believe it.”i don’t know what to say“…everyone was confused because he was aiming for something cold. Then a few seconds later he woke up and realized that he had done it. He hugged his team. He was the new F1 World Champion for 2022.

In principle, the numbers don’t seem to indicate that Max Verstappen is still champion. If you complete just over 50% of your scheduled spins, but fall short of 75%, according to the regulations, 19 points will be distributed to the winner instead of the usual 25.Max beat second-placed Perez after penalizing third-placed Charles a five-inch penalty.

They all had the same numbers: Max had 19 points, Perez had 16 and Charles had 12. Max needed eight points from Monegasque and six from Perez to become champion at SuzukaAustin’s title appears to have been postponed.

Nevertheless, That rule only works for races that are interrupted without reaching the end and restarting. In this case, the number of laps was reduced, but the final goal was achieved., marked with a 3-hour race limit. This is considered to be the finish, so the allocation of points was as usual. With Max in 1st and Leclerc in 3rd, Verstappen is the new F1 champion.

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.
