Red Bull driver Max Verstappen took a major step towards securing his fourth consecutive F1 title by winning the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, despite starting 17th, and increasing his lead over McLaren’s Lando Norris with three races remaining .

The two Alpine drivers, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, complete the podium.

Here’s how the remaining races could play out.

There are only three races left on the 2024 calendar:

Las Vegas Grand Prix | November 21-23, Las Vegas Strip Circuit

Qatar Grand Prix and sprint | November 29 – December 1, Lusail International Circuit

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix | December 6-8, Yas Marina

For all Grand Prizes, points are awarded as follows.

Additionally, a bonus point is awarded for the fastest lap of the race, but only if the driver who achieved it finishes in the top 10. There are also sprint races on some race weekends , which award points as follows:

Verstappen will win the title if he finishes ahead of Norris in Las Vegas.

The Briton is running out of time to close the gap and it’s not in his hands. Norris must outperform Verstappen every race weekend to keep his slim chances alive.
