Formula 1's top boss believes Max Verstappen is a long way from having sewn up his title defence this season as Ferrari are "very close" to spoiling the party.
The Dutchman has opened up a 46-point lead over his nearest rival, Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez. Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc is three points further behind after a number of setbacks including on-track mistakes and some engine reliability issues in his car.
In the constructors' championship, the gap is even larger with Red Bull enjoying a 76-point cushion to Ferrari, while the gap to Mercedes in third is an extra 40 as they struggle with their own performance issues. While 13 races remain in the 2022 campaign, Red Bull and Verstappen are well placed in both their title bids.
