Although it is Max Verstappen since the race in Austria he has collected the most points among all racers, but his chances of winning this year's title are only of a mathematical nature. “Lewis now has a recalculated nearly three-win advantage. By the end of the season, there are only nine races left," so Christian horner, team boss Red Bull about the minimum options of your protégé. He has twelve out of a total of 21 races Lewis Hamilton 69 points ahead of Max Verstappn. There are still 234 points available (including extra points for the fastest lap) that Max (theoretically of course) could still score. However, also Red Bullthese optimistic mathematical models ultimately show Hamilton as the champion.
To be tense again, the season would have to take a rather unusual course. Example: From Hamilton’s worst races this year (Melbourne, Baku, Speilberg, Hockenheim), we would get an average of ten points per race. Verstappen would come up with an average of 24 points with his top three races (Spielberg, Hockenheim, Hungaroring). If we count that on the rest of this season, I would have Verstappen in the end an advantage of 397: 340. But hand on heart, that’s not realistic. Because Red Bull it will be difficult to keep this high average, especially on very fast tracks. Also Mercedes Benz, a superbly organized team, will not kick every race end into darkness. “Lewis should have stayed home for three races already,” Horner waved off with a smile, adding, “Or to get skin fungus on his leg. But it’s amazing. We should break it concretely to lose this year's title. "
