The disappointing Singapore weekend is now over for Max Verstappen, but the Dutchman of Red Bull will once again be the great protagonist of next weekend. The return of F1 to Suzuka, in fact, coincides with the second match point on the racket of the 25-year-old from Hasselt to arithmetically conquer his second world title in his career. If in Marina Bay, net of his worst pre-season of the season in the race, Verstappen would still have had to rely on the results of his opponents, in Japan it will not be so. In fact, if the # 1 were the first to pass under the checkered flag and also get the fastest lap of the race, he would be arithmetically certain of success in the championship, regardless of the results of Leclerc and Perez.
The opportunity for Verstappen is therefore tempting, also because it will run on Honda home track and there is the desire, on the part of the whole environment of the ‘bulls’, to give a gift to Japanese friends: “We are finally back in Japan after a long time and I can’t wait to race in Suzuka again – commented Verstappen, presenting the Japanese trip – i love being in japan and have many good memories here. The food is great and the fans are very special, they are very nice and polite. We have another chance to win the title: we will have to have a perfect weekend, but it’s possible. We will do our best. The track is ‘old school’, there are a lot of fast corners and you need to improve during each session. Let’s see what will happen with the weather: I heard that rain is coming, this could make things even more interesting “. In his career, Verstappen has reached the Suzuka podium three times, finishing second in 2016 and 2017 and third in 2018.
