How can Max Verstappen win the title in Japan?
The Dutchman going into Japan, needs 112 points lead over his next best rival by the end of the next race. This situation is certainly not that tough for Verstappen, considering he has gained points like these across the season.
If the Red Bull star wins the race with the fastest lap, and Leclerc finishes as the runner-up in Suzuka, then the former will be crowned as the 2022 world champion.
