Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff wonders whether Max Verstappen will matter in setting a new record of ten consecutive Grand Prix victories.

The math is relatively simple because Red Bull must finish first and second to have any chance of securing the constructors’ title.

This result would give Red Bull 43 points, so they are counting on Mercedes not scoring points in order to reach the 353 points lead they need.

If Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez gets the bonus point for the fastest lap of the race, one point for Mercedes will give Red Bull the championship. As long as Mercedes scores two or more points, Red Bull cannot become champion in Singapore.

• Red Bull winning first and second places with the fastest lap and Mercedes scoring one point or less means they are champions
• Red Bull winning first and second places without the fastest lap and Mercedes not scoring any points means they are the champions

Max Verstappen had a weekend to remember last year in Singapore after a fuel-poor blunder in qualifying and an error-filled race that saw him finish seventh.

When can Verstappen win the drivers’ championship?

As for Verstappen, he is on his way to his third drivers’ title, as he leads by 145 points over his Red Bull teammate Perez.

Verstappen can’t win the championship in Singapore, but he can mathematically do so in Japan if he continues his dominance this weekend.

The Dutchman will need to leave the Japanese Grand Prix, which takes place a week after Singapore from September 22-24. Sky Sports F1By obtaining 180 points or more, the title will be guaranteed.

Unless Perez has two disappointing weekends, the most likely destination for Verstappen to become a three-time world champion is the Qatar Grand Prix, the sprint weekend of October 6-8.
