He is currently 62 points ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris with three races remaining and simply needs to be 60 clear at the end of the race to join that exclusive club of Juan Manuel Fangio (five titles), Alain Prost (four), Michael Schumacher (seven) Sebastian Vettel (four) and Lewis Hamilton (seven).

Here is how Verstappen can be champion:

- He wins the race

- He finishes ahead of Norris

- Norris finishes outside the top eight without claiming fastest lap
