One retirement could change everything but the statistics are stacking up for Red Bull's Max Verstappen as he seeks to deny Lewis Hamilton a record eighth Formula One championship this season

Sunday's US Grand Prix victory at Austin's Circuit of the Americas was the 24-year-old Dutch driver's eighth from 17 of 22 races, compared to five for Mercedes' seven-time world champion.

With five races remaining, Hamilton cannot match his 2020, 2019 and 2018 tallies of 11 wins and the Briton will struggle to match even his worst of the Mercedes-dominated V6 turbo hybrid era — nine in 2017. “I do think Max is capable of it, he's got a pretty stable head on his shoulders now and he's proven that with some of the drives he's done this year.”
