Max Verstappen thinks it is a ‘bit unrealistic’ for him to win his second F1 title in Singapore 'I don't really think about it. It's quite a long shot.' SingaporeGP
“I need to win, and Checo needs to finish fourth or lower and Charles eighth or lower,” he said on Thursday.“It's quite a long shot. And I just want to enjoy the weekend. And of course, try to win it.”
As F1 returns to eastern Asia for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic, a triumph on Honda’s home ground would mean a lot more. “And also, I think [it will be] my first proper opportunity to win the title. So yeah, of course, I'm looking forward to Singapore right now. But I'm also very excited for next weekend.”
However a combination of poor reliability, strategy errors and driving mistakes derailed his and Ferrari's campaign and opened the door for Verstappen to pull well clear in the standings.
