F1 standings after Italy GP | Verstappen can take title in Singapore
- GPblog.com
Max Verstappen seemed to be unbeatable after the Dutch Grand Prix, but after his victory at the Italian Grand Prix, the remaining races will have to be wild for the Dutchman not to win the title. Verstappen now has 335 points in the driver's championship, which puts him 116 points ahead of Charles Leclerc.
Leclerc has again moved slightly ahead of Sergio Perez in third position, but P1 now looks well and truly out of sight for the Monegasque. With his huge lead, Verstappen can secure the title as early as the next race, the Singapore Grand Prix. It seems only a matter of time until the Red Bull Racing driver is crowned World Champion of 2022.
George Russell also takes home a good number of points with his P3 and is now also on over 200 points. Perez and Leclerc will have to take the Briton into account in the last six races. Nyck de Vries scored two points in his racing debut with Williams, putting him ahead of Nicholas Latifi in the championship.
