Max Verstappen doesn’t need to win another race this year to clinch a second world title, but the Red Bull driver isn’t planning on taking his foot off the gas as Formula One reconvenes after its summer break for Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix. The Dutchman opened up an 80-point advantage over his closest rival Charles Leclerc following his win at the last race in Hungary.
That means he can clinch the title even if he finishes each of the nine races second behind Leclerc with the Monegasque taking the point for fastest lap.
