How can Max Verstappen win the title in Japan?

The Dutchman going into Japan, needs 112 points lead over his next best rival by the end of the next race. This situation is certainly not that tough for Verstappen, considering he has gained points like these across the season.

If the Red Bull star wins the race with the fastest lap, and Leclerc finishes as the runner-up in Suzuka, then the former will be crowned as the 2022 world champion.

His school (20 min.) from my home was actually a race track
He always ran with slicks in the pouring rain ...

But he was smart enough to beat everyone !

I see the link you posted with the youngest drivers to start F1 correctly states that Max is Belgian.
It's funny b/c at language school on Saturdays in Camberwell I learnt to ride a scooter in the playground there before the caretaker was shooing us away.

I see his one is yellow gold that clips on the arm/wrist, my polished copper one is open ended and just slides onto the wrist.
I'm guessing being a love bracelet he has Kelly's name on there somewhere.

Early weather forecast for the Suzuka race is a mix of showers and sun without the uncertainty of the humid slippery Singapore track but still a headache for teams of will it or won't it.
Friday will be wet all day its predicted for P1 and P2 with Saturday being dry with sun most of the time which should put a smile back on Max for quali.

Hope this is where Max clinches the championship!

Sure . But actually there is time enough my friend with his 104 points lead ..

If MAX can finish in the last 5 races at P7 , then he's still the 2022 World Champion .
I'm pretty sure...that won't be a problem for him.
Let's say It's actually a Piece of Cake !
Can't wait for the race in the Land Of The Rising Sun !

And I really wonder how the special HONDA livery will look like at Suzuka...

Are they doing a custom livery?

The white bull from last year was STUNNING.

That's for sure . The Bull in white and red was fantastic !

I work in a Belgian/Japanese company ,this morning my Japanese colleague engineers said to me :
Philippe-San , A special HONDA livery in Japan ? That can't be otherwise !

Suzuka is HONDA's home race and HONDA can be in Japan the drivers and constructors World Champion .

As you can see : Japan is already , ready for it !
