Max Verstappen believes that – barring any drama at McLaren – he needed to win the Singapore Grand Prix to have any serious shot at the 2025 F1 title. According to the Dutchman, that victory was within reach for Red Bull.
With six race weekends remaining, Verstappen trails championship leader Oscar Piastri by 63 points. McLaren team boss Andrea Stella said in Baku that all media should write in capital letters that Verstappen is still a “serious threat” for the F1 title, but the Red Bull driver himself isn’t going that far.
