Max Verstappen's second Formula 1 championship looking more like WHEN and not IF.
Formula 1 returns to action at the Belgian Grand Prix after a four-week summer break for the first of nine events in just 13 weeks that will close out the 2022 season.When Will Verstappen Wrap It Up?
This year’s championship chase is surely a case of when, not if, given the strength of Max Verstappen and Red Bull, and Ferrari’s propensity to self-combust—a character trait that shows little sign of suddenly ceasing.Verstappen is 80 points clear of a fading Charles Leclerc. In F1, that translate to pretty much a three-event lead, with nine to play. Due to Sprint and fastest-lap points, here’s the advantage needed to wrap it up after the following Grands Prix.
His record of taking a victory in each of his F1 seasons dating back to his rookie year in 2007 has looked in danger ever since the early Grands Prix revealed deep weaknesses within Mercedes’ W13, while Hamilton was off the pace as he took on the bulk of experimental set-up work. There’s even the prospect of Mercedes reeling in Ferrari for second place in the Constructors’ Championship; the gap is only 30 points.Given recent form Mercedes will surely be in contention at more grands prix across the final nine events. Hamilton should pick up one win from that run.
