Follow Us
As the title battle enters its decisive period, the question remains: who is winning? The answer remains unsure, even regarding who has the advantage, if any. Verstappen with the points lead or Hamilton with the W12? Regardless, Red Bull boss Helmut Marko stays away from the stats.
As expected, everyone has questions surrounding the climax of the season. As a result, many storylines have been drawn regarding who could take the title. Helmut Marko doesn’t wish to look at unnecessary numbers. “Stay away from me, otherwise I expect Max to have already lost more than 50 points due to failures through no fault of his own.”
Referencing Verstappen’s three DNF’s this season, if statistics are in the discussion, Verstappen could have had a more comfortable lead. With a tire blowout in Baku, the crash in Silverstone and the collision in Monza; Verstappen had a fighting chance for victory in these races.
