All that remains at stake in the final races of the F1 World Cup

The F1 Drivers World Cup it was decided two weeks ago Suzukawith the Verstappen crowned himself the new two-time F1 world champion. But those who may think that the fish have all been sold in the market ‘Great Circus’. In the last four races of the season, a lot is at stake, starting this weekend on United States F1 GP.

Red Bull, for the Constructors’ World Cup in Austin

In Austin (Texas), Red Bull has a big match point to win the Constructors’ world title. The energy drink team is 165 points on Ferrari, second in the championship. To win, Red Bull need to leave Austin with a margin of 147 points with just 3 tests to go, so it’s worth not losing more than 18 points to Maranello this weekend to complete the World Cup double this Sunday.

It looks even better for those from Milton Keynes to complete their goal in the United States, as Red Bull starts as favorite for this weekend with a car that has shown itself to be superior to Ferrari in all appointments in this second part. of the season, especially for the better wear of the tires, which allows it to have a devastating speed in the race.

Battle for runner-up

Leclerc and Czech Perez

Exactly, the battle that Pérez is doing with Leclerc in the fight for the second position in the World Cup is another great incentive that remains to be resolved in the final stage of the course. There are 4 races left and Pérez is in second place in the World Championship with 253 points, just one more than Charles (252). Red Bull will do everything for the Mexican to complete the 1-2 World Cup to put the finishing touch on a perfect season for the Austrians.

Max, for a great Schumacher record

Another great attraction that remains in these last four races is to see if Max Verstappen can surpass Michael Schumacher’s record of 13 wins in one year. With 12 under his belt so far, winning two is enough to catch him, but he will need to win the remaining four if he wants to beat the best career winning percentage in a year, as Schumacher has 13 win from 18 races in 2004 , while this year the calendar has 22 appointments and Max has added 12 to 18 so far. However, Pérez will want to fulfill his dream of winning at home in Mexico next week, something that will take that record away from Max.

Hamilton may be left without a solo record

Behind them, Russell (Mercedes) is fourth with 207 points and Sainz (5th with 102), only 5 points behind, will fight to win a place in the World Championship from this weekend against a Mercedes that will bring the latest update of the year. . The stars want to surprise and get even closer to the lead with their improvement in the classification and excellent race pace. This development came in time for Hamilton to look for an upset in one of the last four rounds to claim his first win of the year. Lewis has consistently won at least one race per season from 2007 to last year. He will fight everything to keep that streak from ending. If he does not succeed, he will close his record of 15 consecutive years of winning at least one race, a record he shares with Michael Schumacher, who achieved it from 1992 to 2006.

Mick Schumacher risks his seat

With only two holes on the grid to be decided for 2023, that of a Latifi leaving a free seat at Williams and Mick Schumacher’s doubt at Haas, the spotlight is on the German. The owner of the American team, Gene Haas, gave a public ultimatum to the son of the ‘Kaiser’. “I think Mick has a lot of potential, but he costs a fortune and has destroyed a lot of cars,” he explained, making it clear that Mick himself will decide his future in what he does in the coming years. career. You can’t make a single mistake.

Alonso and Ocon

Fernando Alonso has four races to fight to overtake his teammate Esteban Ocon. Throughout his career, Fernando Alonso has beaten all of his teammates except in 2007, when he tied for points with Hamilton at McLaren, and in 2015, when Button overtook him as Fernando had more mechanical problems in a McLaren-Honda with so many engine failures. reliability for both pilots. Ocon leads Fernando by 13 points with four appointments remaining due to the many points the Spaniard has lost this year due to reliability problems with his Alpine. The Spaniard wants to leave the Alpine ahead. The battle was served.

Ferrari-Mercedes and Alpine-McLaren

Another attraction this year-end will be Ferrari’s defense of its current second position in the Constructors’ World Championship against Mercedes. The Italians have a 67-point advantage over the stars, who will take their latest evolution package to Austin to get closer to the lead.
The
For its part, Alpine will need to defend its 13-point lead over McLaren in the battle for fourth place in the Constructors’ World Championship. At stake, many millions.
