We continue to reduce the number of races left until the end, and Max Verstappen continues to reduce damage to the 2024 F1 World Championship classification after Azerbaijan GP: Max remains the leader with 59 points over Lando Norris who once again missed a huge opportunity to get closer to the match world. I hit 62 on this track and I can get out of it closer. But he did not achieve it.
There are 7 appointments left to go and instead of Norrisis Piastre the one who looks fitter than his partner. The Australian won an amazing and number 1 victory to continue to dream of his lower title options. Oscar came close to the 9th point Verstappen the 2024 F1 World Cup classification after Azerbaijan GP with the final 7 races of the year remaining. Is it time or too late for the Australian?
The bite may be larger for Piastre If not for the accident and subsequent abandonment of Sainz and Perez when they were fighting for the podium. This gave Max two free positions and 4 more points that he didn’t expect when he was 7th.
Besides, Leclerc’s second position left him 78 points behind the leader, even with a Ferrari one behind the McLaren on most circuitsnot so next time in Singapore, where the red car may be the favorite
Fernando Alonso is 6th and has 58 points, more than double that of his partner Stroll (24). For his part, Franco Colapinto made history for Argentina by again scoring points for his country with his first 4 points in F1, scoring more points in two races than Sargeant achieved in a year and a half.
