Take a look at the F1 standings today (Sunday October 26) and they tell a story which would scarcely have been believable a few short weeks ago – we have…
“After an exciting weekend at Austin, the F1 standings show a surprising three-way fight for the drivers’ title, with Max Verstappen now a new favorite to win.
Verstappen has made a remarkable comeback, cutting a massive 104-point gap to just 40 in five races and now has the same number of points as both McLaren drivers combined since the summer break.
The pressure is on Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris as the championship battle heats up in Mexico City, with only five races left in the season.
For Verstappen to win the title in 2025, he needs to continue his winning streak and rely on Piastri finishing lower in at least one race.
In the latest odds, Verstappen is now the favorite to win the Drivers’ Championship, a significant shift from just a few weeks ago.”
