Max Verstappen shrugs off F1 title talk with “nothing to lose” remark
Max Verstappen expressed his determination, stating he has “nothing to lose” in the final seven races of the 2025 F1 season, emphasizing the 69-point gap to leader Oscar Piastri.
Having secured consecutive victories, including dominating performances in the Italian and Azerbaijan Grand Prix races, Verstappen enters the upcoming Singapore GP with momentum.
Despite the deficit to Piastri, Verstappen’s form has sparked speculation of a resurgence in his title challenge.
Acknowledging the challenging Marina Bay Circuit, with its characteristics favoring McLaren, Verstappen remains focused on taking each race as it comes, aiming for consistent performances.
With Red Bull showing improvement and Verstappen adopting a race-by-race approach, the team aims to close the gap to Piastri and maintain their competitive edge in the championship battle.
Verstappen’s pursuit of a fifth consecutive title would equal Michael Schumacher’s record, highlighting the growing anticipation surrounding his late-season charge and his commitment to continuous improvement as a driver.
