Max Verstappen
Seven races to go and it's still 69 points, it's a lot. Basically, everything needs to go perfect from my side and then a bit of luck from their side I need as well. So it's still very tough. I just go race by race, which I have been doing basically the whole season - just trying to do the best we can, try to score the most points that we can. Then after Abu Dhabi, we'll know.
As of September 25, Verstappen is third in the driver standings with 255 points. Leading is McLaren’s Oscar Piastri with 324 points, followed by his teammate Lando Norris with 299.
In the Azerbaijan GP on September 21, Verstappen finished first after 51 laps. George Russell (Mercedes) finished second, and Carlos Sainz (Williams) took third place.
