Max Verstappen has been under immense pressure in 2024, but after a breathtaking win at the Brazilian Grand Prix, he has firmly planted himself at the top of the Formula One drivers’ standings. Not only does he lead by 62 points entering the final three races of the season, but he can also clinch a fourth straight world championship at this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Verstappen faced a legitimate challenge from McLaren’s Lando Norris over the summer and into the fall portion of the 2024 campaign. However, with his advantage now as sizable as it is and only 86 drivers’ points remaining across the final three rounds, the Red Bull driver can slam the door shut.
