In a sprint to the end of the 2022 F1 season, the first Singapore GP in three years starts a run of six races in eight weeks.
Verstappen can clinch the drivers’ world title at the Marina Bay Circuit through a few permutations, but realistically looks set to wrap up the championship at the following race in Japan.
How can Verstappen win the 2022 F1 title in Singapore?
Verstappen holds a 116-point lead over Charles Leclerc at the top of the F1 standings with six races to go, while Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez remains in slight contention 125 points off the Dutch driver.
Here’s how Verstappen can seal the F1 world title in Singapore:
- If Verstappen wins with the fastest lap, Leclerc finishes eighth or lower and Perez finishes fourth or lower
- If Verstappen wins without the fastest lap, Leclerc finishes ninth or lower and Perez finishes fourth or lower without the fastest lap
Any alternative results which don’t fit into those two scenarios and the title fight rolls on to the Japanese GP.
