Daniel Ricciardo’s fastest lap means Max Verstappen can finish 2nd to Lando Norris in all remaining Grands Prix and Sprints, regardless of fastest lap bonus points, and STILL win the drivers' championship

I did mention Lando really needs another DNF from Max, which is basically what he needs, a Lando win with Max scoring zero to make it more achievable. However the chances of Max scoring outside the points is about as rare as him having another DNF this season, or him not winning another race all season long, that would be quite the win less streak especially in such a topsy turvy season.

I am not confident of that happening as Red Bull seem to have finally accepted that they went in the wrong direction for car development and have made some good steps to fix it and have a month to work on further fixes.
